File Names

In particular for files, expressive and natural names are easier to remember than names that contain odd abbreviations or alterations. See Table for detailed examples.

• It is easier to remember complete words rather than some awkward abbreviation of a word such as Window: Wnd, Wn, Wind, etc.
• Use mixed case rather than underscores to separate words in names. Always capitalize the first letter.
• Do not invent plurals for collections of objects. Use the proper plural, this way it is more easily remembered.
• For C++ code, the file name shall be identical to the class name.
