Courses Plus Student 36,143 PointsLike most other languages, variables can be named flexibly within the usual restrictions (not starting with numbers etc.) I think "start" is just a good meaningful name. It could also be called "begin" or "start_time".
It could be called x or ralph but that would just be less meaningful, or even confusing.
Good luck with the programming!
