The recommendation in the lesson “Naming and self documenting code” is that for changing multiple occurrences, you should use the “Change all occurrences” function, but i believe it’d be better to use a smarter refactoring tool like “rename symbol”. this avoids it automatically choosing occurrences that happen in a string. e.g.
const int a
if we select all occurrences of “a” it’s going to find things in the string like “you are a secret agent”
using “rename symbol” will provide you with a checked list to be changes which defaults to not changing strings.
is this a good assumption?
This feature wasn’t implemented at the time the lecture was recorded. It’s covered in a later lecture when it was.
