As far as I know there are these;
- Camel case = coolFileName
- Snake case = cool_file_name
- Kebab case = cool-file-name
- Pascal case = CoolFileName
- Dot notation = cool.file.name
- Flat case = coolfilename
- Screaming case = COOLFILENAME
Personally I prefer the kebab/dot conventions simply because they allow for easy “navigation” with (ctrl+arrow keys) between each part. What are your preferences when it comes to this? Did I miss any schemes?
I don’t like it but I am used to reading old C codebase (windows: https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/win32/stg/coding-style-conventions) with Hungarian notation.
pszMyString 😥
That’s called camelCase, right? starting off small and then use Upper. Hungarian notation is a form of camelCase, just with the type added in front I think. But that’s for coding standards, not filenames. One can think of Hungarian notation as to what file extensions is to files, just added in front. Imagine files named as “txt.MyFile”, just for illustration.
Ah yes I dont know what I thought OP was asking about coding standards 😂
