Say you have an outfit that sells fowl internationally, one of your customers is Turkey and one of your products is turkey. If you want to, with case sensitivity, you're free to use those terms as is in your program. Most developers use some forms of casing convention anyway, so why not have it actually mean something? Only with case sensitivity do you get true enforcement of a convention, without it, you get the potential for ambiguity. I realize ambiguity is a thing that cuts both ways but case sensitivity enforces conventions for real. Additionally, what Ezekiel said regarding this aspect, is true: "Aside from a unusual personal preference, there's no technical advantage to being case insensitive. There are some technical advantages to being case sensitive. One example would be interfacing with existing languages (calling or being called from) that are already case sensitive. It's easier interfacing a (new) case sensitive language into a world that's dominated by other case sensitive languages." - Ezekiel https://groups.google.com/forum/#!original/comp.os.linux.advocacy/WNW-ksZRwo0/ZWUtHt_4tV0J Due to this need to interface, these modern languages that blur the barrier between a 'scripting' language and a 'programming' language, adhere to the case sensitivity for the same reason that scripting languages do, performance. My apologies to hh, who had the good point on this (that I just glossed over when I responded to him earlier), he's spot on! I mistakenly assumed modern hardware negated it but the performance hit is actually pretty big so the advantage is definitely there. The reason isn't just 'historical', as has been claimed, it's actually sensical from a performance view and this may be (it probably is) the *main* motivation to continue.

Say you have an outfit that sells fowl internationally, one of your customers is Turkey and one of your products is turkey. If you want to, with case sensitivity, you're free to use those terms as is in your program. P.S. Yes, I'm aware that you wouldn't necessarily put these terms in the same scope (you needn't, or wouldn't necessarily create objects or classes that way), I'm just trying to point out that, if you had a need to, you have the flexibility. Think of Hadron's example to Snit of the constructor function (where Snit missed his point), yes, I realize you'd probably number the objects but, again, it's about flexibility.

Best answer on that page IMO.
"Then who cares what anybody else thinks? If you find it useful, then
use the notation."
I use it in my code unless I'm working in another file/project where it's
not being used.
m_ = member variable of a class
s_ = static variable/member
iInteger
arArray
tblHashTable
bBool

But that can also be overridden by declaring their type in the beginning: INTEGER Z,A... etc. Meaningful names in a program are important and make it easier to follow the program idea. Old Fortran had a limitation back then of only 5 characters for a variable name.

The one I posted that you read that pointed out using and reading were gerunds. >> owling: to pretend one knows what a gerund is > > I take it you were pretending you didn't when you wrote "vUsing... > nreading..."? I didn't write that. It was a quote from the stack overflow thread you read.

No one asked you to explain anything. We were explaining it > to you. You're really racking up the lies lately. You repeatedly begged me to explain things about the languages to you. You kept asking me about case sensitivity, why Apple would move to a new language and not just add more to an old, why they allowed old code to be used with the new language, and more. You also, as you do so frequently, just flat out made up things about my views as you worked to sound knowledgeable about things you are completely ignorant about. And, no, not digging through the thread to find specific examples. Just don't care. Go live in the past with your favorite co-troll. -- * Mint MATE Trash, Panel, Menu: <http://youtu.be/C0y74FIf7uE> * Mint KDE bugs or Easter eggs? <http://youtu.be/CU-whJQvtfA> * Mint KDE working with folders: <http://youtu.be/7C9nvniOoE0> * Mint KDE creating files: <http://youtu.be/N7-fZJaJUv8> * Mint KDE help: <http://youtu.be/3ikizUd3sa8> * Mint KDE general navigation: <http://youtu.be/t9y14yZtQuI> * Mavericks / Pages 5.1: <http://youtu.be/D3BPWANQoIk> * OS / Word Processor Comparison: <http://youtu.be/w6Qcl-w7s5c>
