There are various popular naming conventions which are common among various languages, the relevance of these conventions comes from , the legacy which they hold and other factors like readability, purpose, programming cababilities, for example , we most follow camelcase for java, for c++ which comes with great capabilities, we use lowercase with underscores, most of the time.
why important ?
there are two main advantage which comes with this,
- consistency in the code base - especially you are contributing open source.
- readability - with common coding style and following it becomes easy for you to understand the code.
C++ naming convention -
- Variables - lowercase with underscores,
- Functions - lower case with underscores,
- Classes - Pascal case
- Constants - uppercase with underscores.
In gist : following the best practices , and guidelines, make the job easier for everyone.
