PascalCasing - Pascal Case



Return to CamelCase, Hungarian notation, Programming topics

The practice of marking all word boundaries in long identifiers (such
asThisIsASampleVariable)(including the first letter of the
identifier) with uppercase. Constrasts with camelCasing, in which the
firstcharacteroftheidentifierisleftin lowercase
(thisIsASampleVariable), and with the traditional C style of short
all-lower-casenameswith internal word breaks marked by an
underscore (sample_var).

Where these terms are used, they usually go with advice to use
PascalCasing for public interfaces and camelCasing for private ones.
They may have originated at Microsoft, but are in more general use in
ECMA standards, among Java programmers, and elsewhere.
