That depends on what the loop, temp var (etc.) does. Sometimes having a meaningless name like that is perfectly fine, something you need something more descriptive as it may help read what's being done more easily (I just coded a case like that this morning).

We're a place where coders share, stay up-to-date and grow their careers.
It all depends on your language's conventions. I've often seen these be standard, many coming from mathematics itself:
i
,j
: indices, loop control variables (no lifetime beyond context).x
,y
,n
: temporary variables in algorithm (no lifetime beyond algorithm)n
,num
: temporary "number", such as an accumulator or the current value when iterating over numbers (no lifetime beyond context).v
,val
: temporary value, usually from iteration (no lifetime beyond context)x
,y
,z
: coordinates (meaning from context).len
: lengthiter
,it
: iteratorBeyond that, you should probably write real names.
