Compiler will complain to code on shouting.
Regards, Hiren. -"I don't know, I don't care, and it doesn't make any difference".
Nah - compilers are used to developers screaming at them. Abuse normally.

Before I step into the world of linux, I always use camel case, but in the linux world, almost everything are separated by a dash Now I have to manage a cross platform project and is thinking about which naming convention to adopt
That's very simple. Take the one that does not annoy you. It's you that has to read it most of the time. At work your bosses can tell you how they want to have things done. In your own projects you are the king.
At least artificial intelligence already is superior to natural stupidity

This will compile:
YouPreferSomethingLikeThis
This:
you-prefer-something-like-this
requires that you have overloaded the '-' operator and that you have variables named 'you', 'prefer', 'something' and 'like' I assume that you actually wanted to write this:
you_prefer_something_like_this
So in your case I would go with the former, as it is probably what you are used to.

For best results, I would recommend a Fortran naming convention: 6 characters only, starts with a letter. No lower case. :-D

No. COBOL is better. Names as long as thirty characters are allowed.

I give myself a nice mix by using the dash for all things css because I can, and camelCase elsewhere. You can't use dashes everywhere, e.g. variable names in most languages.

Pascal case is okay, and underscores are groovy. Camel case, on the other hand, is an abomination before God. (so says the olde git)

If this is you own product, use the same coding convention that you are used to. If you are working on an existing Open Source software, use the coding conventions already in place for that project.
Watched code never compiles.

Depending the language you are using - can give you problems in variable names. Therefore I would go with an uppercase letter in each word start.

I'm a devil worshipper, so that's alright then. ;) Anyway, after 20 years in the Middle East, camel case just comes naturally. :laugh:

At my company, that statement would be an "EOE violation". EOE == the corporate policy that ensures that all employees are interchangable, gender and ethnic-neutral drones.

Come on. Do you have anything like the "Alter" statement which will change the address (statement label) you jump to while executing a program? Makes for a hairy debugging experience! :laugh:

FORTRAN: Not only can you declare a single integer and use it as a four dimensional array of reals, but you can change the value of physical constants! You haven't met hairy debugging until a loop that is fixed to do 3 iterations is doing 14 because the constant 3 has been changed. Or working out why your circles aren't because someone accidentally changed 3.1415927 to 8.6 Or assembler. Self modifying code! Fun, fun fun, 'til someone loses an eye... :laugh:

Hiren spake thus: "Compiler will complain to code on shouting." Whence OriginalGriff spake thus: "Nah - compilers are used to developers screaming at them. Abuse normally." But, OG, how do you think the code feels having to bear the constant burden of being the one and only entity to which the compiler can ventilate their continual frustrations with the mis-use developers are subjecting them to ? I think a viable product would be a device that attaches to the side of the computer with an electro-mechnical arm, with a padded fist attached to it, that can be adjusted to slap the programmer up the side of the head based on commands sent to it by its integration into Visual Studio, possibly an add-on for ReSharper, or JustCode, etc. Too many static variables scattered across classes, and used willy-nilly: bitch-slap. Anonymous functions within recursive anonymous functions: TKO. Writing an extension that extends 'Object:' permanent coma. best, Bill

So that is where that convention came from (never having been inflicted with any of the seed languages), I ran across it in the late 80s and wanted to know who in their right mind would inflict such a horrible format on someone. The other one was the datamap, PRGX12 = Customer link file to phone numbers!
