    I suspect everyone has their own querks and habits when it comes to naming. As for me, I use 'p' for pointer, 'c' for class (and then i for ints, etc. etc... ok so that breaks down with pointers to chars but...) Thus is my code: int *piVal; // would be a pointer to an int CString cName; // would be not be a pointer to a string! CWife *pcWife; // would be a pointer to an instance of class 'CWife' If I had a pointer to a pointer to a class it would be 'ppc' etc. I find that not only does this help with knowing the type of a variable, but also keeps them grouped more helpfully in the Class/Memebrs pane in VisualStudio.

    Your naming convention seems real similar to mine. But I use a c_ for class and ch for characters and only Cstr for CString. I thin the big thing is consistency of names though. Regardz Colin J Davies

      surely the full algorithm is pcWife = (CWife*)pcFiancee; pcWife->Balance += pcHusband->Balance; pcHusband->Balance = 0; :)

      Of course, if you don't do this check first, if (IsValidPtr(pcWife, CWife)) { ... } then you'll experience symptoms of pcWife occasionally going wild and vectoring off into unreasonable territory. At such times, a fault is imminent, and it will always be yours. :-D Chistopher Duncan Author - The Career Programmer: Guerilla Tactics for an Imperfect World (Apress)

        Congratulations. I holidayed in Boston several years back, so this is a tad out of date, but I really enjoyed going to the Museum of Fine Arts (or the MFA as it gets called). Some great Monets and a lovely place. Depends on your tastes of course. Also, the Faneuil (sp?) market is well worth a visit. Note: I was a tourist, so these may well be tourist-y places and the locals may come up with some alternatives, but I did enjoy both those places. Another tip: remember that your wife is *not* to be compared to a class instantiation and treat her like a human being, won't you??? :-O Contrary to what some people on this notice board may think we are actually of the same species...

          I have the same naming habits as yours, except for strings. When I use String objects I prefix with "str", and when using character arrays I prefix by "lpsz" So I came to find To end up this way Feeling like I'm God Feeling there's no way KoRn
