On Variable Names
The term “variable” reminds us the value can change
The names used for variables are arbitrary provided:
- Variable names must begin with a letter
- Variable names can contain any letter, numeral or _
- Most languages are case sensitive: a ? A
Good variable names are meaningful and accurate
- total, averageOverClass, etc, but not x, o0OO0o, etc
VB6: In all programming for FIT100, variable names should start with lowercase letters so as to avoid confusion with other names in VB6 … ignore this convention at your peril!
