Variable Naming Standards

The following naming conventions should be applied to variables:

• Variable names should have a small case letter prefix as follows:

• Variable names typically consist of up to three words. Each word in a variable name should start with a capital letter, for example:

iTrendType, rPeriod, sFileName

• Module variable names should be prefixed with an "m", for example:

miTrendType, mrPeriod, msFileName

• Global variable names should be prefixed with a "g", for example:

giTrendType, grPeriod, gsFileName

• Local variable names should not be prefixed (when you declare a variable without specifying the scope, it is considered a Local variable by default):

iTrendType, rPeriod, sFileName
