Variable name size

I like to use long variable names, like read_input_voltage_portA, as it makes the variables easier to understand. Does this make the Hex code bigger? Or does it loose the long names during compilation and replace them all with something short and cryptic like Variable 1, Variable 2, instead of the names?

Hello

The variable name will be replaced with an address in memory so dont worry about creating long variable names as they will not take up any more of the program space.
