4. Choosing Meaningful Names
4.1. Variable Names
The name formatting conventions described here are essentially the GNU coding
standards. These are available online using
info
.
Use lower case for all variable names. For multi-word names, use an underscore as the
separator. Use all capitals for the names of constants (i.e. variables declared
const
and
enumerated types). Use an underscore as a word separator.
Choose variable names carefully. While studies show that the choice of variable names
has a strong influence on the time required to debug code, there are unfortunately no
clear and fixed rules for how to choose good names. Review Chapter 9 of Code
Complete periodically. In the mean time, here are some general guidelines to follow:
·
Be consistent! The most important thing is to establish a clear, easily recognizable
pattern to your code so that others will be able to understand your implementation
and intent as quickly and reliably as possible.
·
Use similar names for similar data types, dissimilar names for dissimilar types.
