I don't care about your naming convention, just be consistent [modified]
-
I was just given a project to rewrite, cleanup, and add features to. The first class I look at has these variables. It appears the original author liked to use almost every convention for naming variables, arbitrarily changing it up.
private string ip_addr = "xx.xx.xx.xx";
private int _port = 2000;
public int countQuotesReceived = 0, countQuotesCreated = 0;
public bool _connected = false;
public bool _initialized = false;
public bool BroadCast = false, ResetHighsLows = false;
public bool reconnecting = false;modified on Monday, January 17, 2011 4:35 PM

By Hungarian @OriginalGriff is looking for
m_Yusuf May I help you?
According to Microsoft and Wikipedia it is still Hungarian notation without the m_, Hungarian notation just means the type is in the name. I'll keep looking for a variable that includes the scope with Hungarian notation, though http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hungarian_notation[^] http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/aa260976%28v=vs.60%29.aspx[^]

So, it should be "m_dtQuotes" anyway. :laugh: Make his wages as consistent as his naming conventions. Bet he falls into line quickly.

By Hungarian I mean the type is prefixed onto the variable name as in iCount, lpszName etc. The "m_", "p_", g_" etc. metaprefix indates the scope: Member of class, function parameter, global and so on. Once upon a time we thought this was a good idea! But then incremental compilation meant we could go back to readable, pronounceable variable names. (I'm waiting for the next generation retrospective on naming, when we go back to a maximum of six characters, and the first character defines it as a integer if it is 'i' to 'n' so you don't even have to declare them...)

Good idea. Let us know when it is released :rolleyes: ;P

Don't remind me. I was downgraded by a professor for defining variables that just happened to start with i and j. Apparently, Pascal teaches you bad habits :~

Nothing that I remember: 'i' through 'n' inclusive being default declaration for integer, and the six character limit were FORTRAN.

Sorry, I was in a bit of a hurry. Pascal was where I was taught to always define my variables. This was not appreciated by a very old school instructor who taught the FORTRAN class. Fortunately, the Pascal lessons stuck with me a lot better than the FORTRAN ones.

Where's Hungarian?

You called?
Panic, Chaos, Destruction. My work here is done. or "Drink. Get drunk. Fall over." - P O'H OK, I will win to day or my name isn't Ethel Crudacre! - DD Ethel Crudacre

No, not you - your name doesn't start with a lower case letter, and is quite pronounceable. :laugh:

The m_, g_ etc. prefixes are all later inventions MS added when they started writing MFC (I guess, that's the first usage I ever came across). You don't really need them in C as the only scopes are global, file and local.

That's where I first met Hungarian notation. The only problem is I still use a bastardized version of it: tb for TextBox, but for Button, dgv for DateGridView... One day, I must try to make a clean break! :laugh:

Maybe every piece of code comes from another on-line tutorial where various naming conventions were used. Better not to change anything if it works you know.

His name is probably the only Hungarian name that CAN be pronounced. Man, do they know how to mess up names, or what? :~
