    Debugging-Looking in the wrong places

    Wow, I just spent about an hour trying to figure out what was wrong with my code. I kept looking through all my classes because there was no way there was something wrong with the function since it was so simple...Turns out it was really simple:
    Code:
    for (int i=0;i<4;i++)
    {
    for (int i2=0;i<4;i++)
    {
    Yesss I'm never naming the second index of a nested loop anything close to the first one again

    Having just read Code Complete one suggestion he makes is using more meaning full names for your index variables based on what they are used for. I think this would have helped in your case.
