Matters of Style
Warning: C++ is case-sensitive – Style and style are
not the same
Capitalization Conventions
Identifiers representing variables begin with a lower-
case letter and have each successive English word
capitalized, e.g., lengthInYards
Names of programmer-written functions and program-
mer-defined data types begin with capital letters and
have each successive English word capitalized, e.g.,
CalcPay(payRate, hours, wages)
Identifiers representing constants are all capitals, with
words separated by underscores, e.g., MAX_LENGTH
