Hungarian Notation          A linguistic convention requiring one       or more letters to be added to the start of {variable} names       to denote {scope} and/or {type}.          Hungarian Notation is mainly confined to {Microsoft Windows}       programming environments, such as Microsoft {C}, {C++} and       {Visual Basic}.   It was originally devised by {Charles       Simonyi}, a Hungarian, who was a senior programmer at       {Microsoft} for many years.   He disliked the way that names in       C programs gave no clue as to the type, leading to frequent       programmer errors.          According to legend, fellow programmers at Microsoft, on       seeing the convoluted, vowel-less variable names produced by       his scheme, said, "This might as well be in Greek - or even       Hungarian!".   They made up the name "Hungarian notation"       (possibly with "{reverse Polish notation}" in mind).          Hungarian Notation is not really necessary when using a modern       {strongly-typed language} as the {compiler} warns the       programmer if a variable of one type is used as if it were       another type.   It is less useful in {object-oriented       programming} languages such as {C++}, where many variables are       going to be instances of {classes} and so begin with "obj".          In addition, variable names are essentially only {comments},       and thus are just as susceptible to becoming out-of-date and       incorrect as any other comment.   For example, if a {signed}       {short} {int} becomes an unsigned {long} int, the variable       name, and every use of it, should be changed to reflect its       new type.          A variable's name should describe the values it holds.   Type       and scope are aspects of this, but Hungarian Notation       overemphasises their importance by allocating so much of the       start of the name to them.   Furthermore, type and scope       information can be found from the variable's declaration.       Ironically, this is particularly easy in the development       environments in which Hungarian Notation is typically used.          {Simonyi's original monograph       (http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/techart/hunganotat.htm)}.          {Microsoft VB Naming Conventions       (http://support.microsoft.com/support/kb/articles/Q110/2/64.asp)}.          (2003-09-11)

The private    sector now accounts for about 55% of GDP. Nonetheless, the    transformation is proving difficult, and many citizens say life was    better under the old system. On the bright side, the four-year decline    in output finally ended in 1994, as real GDP increased an estimated    3%. This growth helped reduce unemployment to just over 10% by    yearend, down from a peak of 13%. However, no progress was made    against inflation, which remained stuck at about 20%, and the    already-large current account deficit in the balance of payments    actually got worse, reaching almost $4 billion. Underlying Hungary's    other economic problems is the large budget deficit, which probably    exceeded 7% of GDP in 1994, despite some late-year budget cutting by    the new leftist government. In 1995 the government has pledged to    accelerate privatization and lower the budget deficit to 5.5% of GDP.    It believes this fiscal tightening will reduce the current account    deficit to $2.5 billion but at the cost of holding economic growth to    only 1%.       National product: GDP - purchasing power parity - $58.8 billion (1994    est.)       National product real growth rate: 3% (1994 est.)       National product per capita: $5,700 (1994 est.)       Inflation rate (consumer prices): 21% (1994)       Unemployment rate: 10.4% (yearend 1994)       Budget:    revenues: $11.3 billion    expenditures: $14.2 billion, including capital expenditures of $NA    (1994)       Exports: $10.3 billion (f.o.b., 1994 est.)    commodities: raw materials and semi-finished goods 30.0%, machinery    and transport equipment 20.1%, consumer goods 25.2%, food and    agriculture 21.4%, fuels and energy 3.4% (1993)    partners: Germany 25.3%, Italy 8.3%, Austria 10.5%, the FSU 14.0%, US    4.3% (1993)       Imports: $14.2 billion (f.o.b., 1994 est.)    commodities: fuels and energy 12.6%, raw materials and semi-finished    goods 27.3%, machinery and transport equipment 33.0%, consumer goods    21.2%, food and agriculture 5.9% (1993)    partners: Germany 21.5%, Italy 6.1%, Austria 11.8%, the FSU 20.9%, US    4.3% (1993); note - about one-fourth of the imports from the FSU were    MiGs delivered as a debt payment       External debt: $27 billion (September 1994)       Industrial production: growth rate 7% (1994 est.)       Electricity:    capacity: 6,740,000 kW    production: 31 billion kWh    consumption per capita: 3,012 kWh (1993)       Industries: mining, metallurgy, construction materials, processed    foods, textiles, chemicals (especially pharmaceuticals), buses,    automobiles       Agriculture: including forestry, accounts for 15% of GDP and 16% of    employment; highly diversified crop and livestock farming; principal    crops - wheat, corn, sunflowers, potatoes, sugar beets; livestock -    hogs, cattle, poultry, dairy products; self-sufficient in food output       Illicit drugs: transshipment point for Southeast Asia heroin and South    American cocaine destined for Western Europe; limited producer of    precursor chemicals       Economic aid:    recipient: assistance pledged by OECD countries since 1989 about $9    billion       Currency: 1 forint (Ft) = 100 filler       Exchange rates: forints per US$1 - 112 (January 1995), 105.16 (1994),    91.93 (1993), 78.99 (1992), 74.74 (1991), 63.21 (1990), 59.07 (1989)       Fiscal year: calendar year       Hungary:Transportation       Railroads:    total: 7,785 km    broad gauge: 35 km 1.520-m gauge    standard gauge: 7,574 km 1.435-m gauge (2,277 km electrified; 1,236 km    double track)    narrow gauge: 176 km mostly 0.760-m gauge (1994)       Highways:    total: 158,711 km    paved: 69,992 km (441 km expressways)    unpaved: 88,719 km (1992)       Inland waterways: 1,622 km (1988)       Pipelines: crude oil 1,204 km; natural gas 4,387 km (1991)       Ports: Budapest, Dunaujvaros       Merchant marine:    total: 10 cargo ships (1,000 GRT or over) totaling 46,121 GRT/61,613    DWT       Airports:    total: 78    with paved runways over 3,047 m: 2    with paved runways 2,438 to 3,047 m: 7    with paved runways 1,524 to 2,437 m: 4    with paved runways under 914 m: 1    with unpaved runways 2,438 to 3,047 m: 7    with unpaved runways 1,524 to 2,438 m: 9    with unpaved runways 914 to 1,523 m: 14    with unpaved runways under 914 m: 34       Hungary:Communications       Telephone system: 1,520,000 phones; 14.7 telephones/100 inhabitants    (1993); 14,213 telex lines; automatic telephone network based on    microwave radio relay system; 608,000 telephones on order; 12-15 year    wait for a telephone; 49% of all phones are in Budapest (1991)    local: NA    intercity: microwave radio relay    international: 1 INTELSAT and Intersputnik earth stations       Radio:    broadcast stations: AM 32, FM 15, shortwave 0    radios: NA       Television:    broadcast stations: 41 (Russian repeaters 8)    televisions: NA       Hungary:Defense Forces       Branches: Ground Forces, Air and Air Defense Forces, Border Guard,    Territorial Defense       Manpower availability: males age 15-49 2,639,860; males fit for    military service 2,105,632; males reach military age (18) annually    86,298 (1995 est.)       Defense expenditures: 66.5 billion forints, NA% of GDP (1994 est.);    note - conversion of defense expenditures into US dollars using the    prevailing exchange rate could produce misleading results
