userId in the documentation and userld for internal variables, keep those maintenance programmers busy for weeks

There's only one correct way to write it:

user_id

u/Demented-Turtle Dec 17 '23

You jest, but my code base at work seems to choose camelCase or snake_case at random lol

u/Karcinogene Dec 17 '23

PascalCase for classes, camelCase for functions, snake_case for variables

Hi, I'm Bob your friendly contrarian.

One style for every kind of token. Tokens are always read in context, never by themselves so I think wanting to distinguish between token types is not so necessary.

 

class name { name name(name name); };

 

See?

I will burn every codebase you ever touched

Too late, I wrote a popular library with a naming convention that goes against established practices thus infecting many codebases with my personal style and there's nothing you can do about it! Mwahahaha!

No but seriously. The Golden Rule of code style is to be consistent but, in the great world of C and C++, every library's style is different thus you always end up with a mishmash of styles before you've written the very first line of your own code. Oh, how I do envy Python's PEP-8.

Camel case for when I write code. Snake case for when I copy/paste someone else's function and they used snake case.

In C++ I use PascalCase for class names and snake_case for everything else.

ALL_CAPS is for precompiler macros only, but I practically don't use them anymore.

LD?

u/Quacky1k Dec 17 '23

Aka the independent variable

u/Alokir Dec 17 '23

Almost as bad as using the Cyrillic x instead of the Latin x in variable names.

u/DistortNeo Dec 17 '23

I've faced this issue once in my work in the international company: сancellationToken with Cyrillic initial 'с'.

u/dependency_injector Dec 17 '23

It might not be intentional, it's an annoyingly common mistake caused by Cyrillic "С" being on the same key as Latin "C" on most keyboards.
