Programming Convention Survey of the day

WEllllll, for a modern language, I would expect CopyObjectArrayToRecord(object[], record) But, if I were in C (and not C++), I would fully expect it to be CopyObjectArrayToRecord(record*, object*), or more likely objrecncpy :) - Phil

I think you mean: int obj_rec_n_cpy(void*, void*, int);

Well, bucking the trend (as usual), whatever it's called, I would expect the destination (target) object to be the first parameter. So, #2! :-D [edit]And sadly, in C#, Array.Copy takes the source array as the first parameter. Which leads me to end of teeth gnashing because I liked the platform SDK's consistency of having the destination as the first parameter, such as in the BitBlt function or, in the C/C++ language, another example is the memcpy function. So, here's another perfect example of how the designers of C# BLEW IT!!![/edit] Marc
This convention actually drives me crazy...it should be from left to right to keep the flow natural...assembly language does it like that: MOV dst, src ...no wonder nobody uses it. It's like reading a sentence that you have to start at the beginning, then jump to the end and read back to the middle...an unnecessary direction change. :~

So I'm guessing you would prefer
3 = aovera = 3to assign 3 to a? :) -

Nope, I don't think I meant that.

I want to know what makes most sense for developers: Before you arm yourself and point it to be a programming question let me say that this is not a programming question. I have a function named
CopyObjectArrayToRecord, it takes two parameters: an object array and a record. Just based on the name what do you expect the order of parameters to be: 1. array, record 2. record, arrayCo-Author ASP.NET AJAX in Action

I also agree with 1

1 is logical.

2 of course because I was brought up on K&R and PDP architecture. I'm told being left handed also helps :-D ~A

Logic says 1 But I would presume from your question that this may not be the case! What has logic to do with programming?

Not all. One of the stark differences between the Intel processors and the Motorola processors was the src/dest order. Marc
