onTheCase

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’…
