Naming conventions are very helpful in making code easier to understand by making it more uniform and easier to predict.

Couple of common conventions:

  • CamelCase

  • lower_case_with_underscores

So with CamelCase the idea is that each word starts with a capital. If you combined this with a capital prefix like we do with name based based prefixes. Then these are good examples of camel case with prefixes:

  • ITAXincomeTaxRate

  • COLstring

  • DIALOGsmallPopup

  • UTLsnackBar
