As always there are exceptions. I use ‘data’ when I get raw bytes that I don’t know if it’s a partial or a full message i.e. tcp packet. Only after the initial process is done on that data does it get a real name. But of couse I totaly agree on other two.
I agree with you and Mr. Data robot. 🙂 I’ve used “char[MAX_BYTES] data;” many times in the past to hold raw bytes read in from hardware devices and TCP/UDP ports.
