After getting into a discussion about coding styles and conventions, I figured I better get some clearer definitions for mixed case names in code:
- studly caps – an arbitrary capitalization of letters. sTudLyCapS
- camel case – run together words with the first letter of each of the word capitalized. CamelCase
- lower camel case – like the above camel case, but with the first letter remaining lowercase. lowerCamelCase
- bicapitalization – studly caps cooped by marketing type to distinguish product names and brands from common usage such as NeXT or DymlerChrysler
Other variations or synonyms include MixedCase, InterCaps, BumpyCase, and HumpBackNotation,
I always heard that your ‘camel case’ was called ‘polish notation’…
