I often use z as a temp variable when i need something to compare to when creating new code but don’t want a separate window to the side or to experiment with something but don’t yet know what the result can or will be. I use z purely just because i know z is very very unlikely to have been used elsewhere, and if for some reason it has, then i just name it ‘zz’.
This is actually temporary by the way. It does not stay in my code. Once I’m done with it, i delete it.
I’m all in favor of
zuruck
replacingreturn
, because that just sounds cooler. Plusz
doesn’t get enough use in my programs these days.*

Do C compilers support non-ascii characters?
Do as most non-DACH countries do: Just use the regular letter instead of the Umlaut.
Example:
Über-Mensch -> Uber-Mensch
If you replace the ü in “Das Wetter ist schwül” (“the weather is humid”) with a u though, you get “the weather is gay”.
Never said it’s a good substitute 🤷
But that’s just wrong.
ü
has a different meaning and pronunciation thanu
.If umlauts aren’t available, the correct way to write umlauts is with an additional
e

.Please be aware that this term can be problematic, since it can be seen as a foundation for fascist ideas. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Übermensch#Use_by_the_Nazis
Didnt have a better and fitting example
