Claim Text:
1. A method of declaring variables during coding of a software program, comprising: defining, for each variable data type, a unique string representing an instruction for a variable declaration; adapting a coding module wherein when a string representing an instruction for a variable declaration is entered, the coding module automatically generates code for the corresponding variable declaration statement for a new variable having the new variable name and the specified variable data type; automatically tracking the variable declaration instructions for each new variable name; automatically presenting a warning if a programmer attempts to use one of the previously used variable names to declare a new variable name of another data type, wherein said warning is presented before the previously used variable name is used to declare a new variable name of another data type; and receiving input from the programmer in response to said warning and before programming continues, wherein said input comprises authorization to use the previously used variable name with a data type that is different than the data type that the variable name was previously used with.
