CamelCase naming convention
-
underscores overstretch my right little finger though and i wouldn't want to get RSI from continually typing underscores or hyphens
-
What is all this camel case, pascal case, underscores. I don't need any of them if keep my variables to 6 characters (1 character is preferred). ;P p.s. see my signature

But of course! This is all completely subjective, except for the fact that I'm right and you're wrong, VIM sucks, and using the underscore as you're proposing will undoubtedly lead to the end of the Union, and a take over of the State by leftist-grave-robbing-breast-feeding-thumb-sucking-whiner-socialists.

You may be Right.

I was wondering how many other people even knew that. Even C# and Java still allow GOTOs, so the statement is still true.:cool:

I find this to be quite readable.

On the other hand, this I find to be ugly and slightly harder to read. My brain is auto-wired to recognize a new word when it sees an upper case letter, but with an underscore not so much.

Why most programmers (at least Windows and Java programmers) use this horrible notation? It is both hard to write and hard to read:
GetMyPreciousDataFromAnXMLFile()
With undrescores it is at least easy to read if not to write:
get_my_precious_data_from_an_XML_file()
And of course, there is always a way to make it easy to write but hard to read:
getmypreciousdatafromanXMLfile()
Lispers have the best of both worlds (well, except for the parentheses):
(get-my-precious-data-from-an-XML-file)
I feel better now - feel free to vote me down :)

You are really cunning. :laugh: That's not a camel, that's a snake with a big ass. A real camel would look something like this:

Things like these are a matter of personal preference. Talking about code formatting, I call people who do this a rogue:
void MyMagicFunc(LPVOID pParams){
if(!pParams){
HandleError();
}//stuff goes here
}I much prefer this instead:
void MyMagicFunc(LPVOID pParams)
{
if(!pParams)
{
HandleError();
}//stuff goes here
}But, I'm well prepared to be called a rogue by those who don't like my style, as everyone may not like the same way of doing things. :) [ADDED] Just noticed the camel casing in my post. [/ADDED]
It is a crappy thing, but it's life -^ Carlo Pallini
I agree, but prefer
void MyMagicFunc(LPVOID pParams)
{
if(!pParams)
{
HandleError();
}
//stuff goes here
}Dunno why, been using it since I started with C (so it was probably a company style thing at the time). Either way, it is a lot clearer how the brackets match up.

No Camelcase, no Pascal, no undescores, no hyphen. Method names should be like
foo() orgoo()(names likesend()andrecv(), deprecated, are allowed only if you're in a poetic mood). :)If the Lord God Almighty had consulted me before embarking upon the Creation, I would have recommended something simpler. -- Alfonso the Wise, 13th Century King of Castile.

Depends whom you ask[^]. I consider Pascal case to be a variant of camel case.
After 5 years in university 15 years in the business, Pascal- and camel-case have always be the same.
