Confirmed: Computers are precise, and if they're different, even if
by just one character, they're different enough for a compiler.

I think they're perfectly safe. I don't think a compiler, language,
preprocessor or anything like that will have a problem with similar but

If the variables aren't descriptive enough or are too similar than mistakes
might be made or it might get confusing, especially when maintaining the
script or program.

Mighty Scripters.
Just checking on general thoughts here, but, how safe do people reckon it
would be, re potential confusion of processing, to be dealing with variable
names that are like reeeally close together? like, say, sLine, and sLine1
for example?
you reckon the scripting engine, or whatever it's called, would be totally
comfortable with that? or, do people reckon one ought to avoid making
variables that are so close in structure that their string names are only
different by the omission of one single character at the end, would be in
any way dangerous?
thanks.
