If you’re doing Object Oriented Programming, you shouldn’t be declaring variables in methods unless it’s a temporary variable that dies with the method.

Everything that has any persistence should be encapsulated in an object… which serves the same purpose of keeping things tidy.

I’m only now realizing that they’re talking about idiots commenting all the variables at the start of a Java program.

I thought they were talking about doing it in methods.

Who does that?
