Programming Convention Survey of the day

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

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

1 makes the most sense, but the thing is written wrong in the first place. It should be: Array.CopyTo(Record r) and/or: Record.CopyFrom(Array a)

I expect #1. What makes most sense is to never allow a developer to make this decision in the first place. Class Record Copy(array) Parameter lists are evil, period.

What about make the whole signature (parameters names too) tell about semantic? CopyTo( Object[] source, Record destination ) This can be lighter to use: array.CopyTo( record ) my fear is that people tend abuse naming, I saw around names like: CopyFirstObjectArrayParameterToSecondRecordParameter :wtf:

As long as the types are different and the parameter names are sufficiently descriptive, I don't think it matters.

1 is more logical ;)
