+### Variable Declarations
+Loop iterators should be declared as part of the loop unless there's a very good reason not to.
+```C
+for (u32 i = 0; i < LOOP_ITERATIONS; i++)
+{
+    dst1[i] = i;
+    dst2[i] = i;
+}
+```
 ## Data Type Sizes
 When a variable number is used, the data type should generally `u32` (unsigned) or `s32` (signed). There are a few exceptions to this rule, such as:
 * Values stored in the saveblock should use the smallest data type possible.
