Types of casing in programming

#javascript #react #python #programming

note: for consistancy i will keep the same example.

1. camelCase 

//userDate
//firstName
Enter fullscreen mode Exit fullscreen mode

2. snake_case 

//user_name
//first_name
Enter fullscreen mode Exit fullscreen mode

3. PascalCase 

//UserName
//FirstName
Enter fullscreen mode Exit fullscreen mode

4. kebab-case

This style mostly used as ID name and classes in html.

//user-name
//first-name
Enter fullscreen mode Exit fullscreen mode
