Rocket types fast. He names his boxes a, b, and q. Later he cannot remember what q holds. "Oops," he says.

Nova says, "Some shorthand is known by everyone. The letter i often means which one we are on." Let's help them match shorthand to meanings.
Programmers use SHORT names a lot. Match each shorthand to its long meaning.
| Shorthand | Long meaning |
|---|---|
| i | ( ) index: which one we're on |
| temp | ( ) temporary |
| x, y | ( ) coordinates |
| max | ( ) the biggest |
| min | ( ) the smallest |
| str | ( ) string of letters |
| num | ( ) number |
