OT: Is ‘cnt’ a common abbreviation in programming?
Not among professional programmers.
At least, not in this era.
I'm sure it was common when memory/storage was at a premium, last century.
If the variable represents a count, then spell the word out.
There is nothing gained by abbreviating words to the point of illegibility.
