Recognising this usage, some IDEs, such as Eclipse, implement shortcuts based on CamelCase. For instance, in Eclipse's content assist feature, typing just the upper-case letters of a CamelCase word will suggest any matching class or method name (for example, typing "NPE" and activating content assist could suggest NullPointerException).
Camel case is named after the "hump" of its protruding capital letter, similar to the hump of common camels. Camel case (sometimes stylized autologically as camelCase or CamelCase, also known as camel caps or more formally as medial capitals) is the practice of writing phrases without spaces or punctuation and with capitalized words.
C# 3.0 introduced type inference, allowing the type specifier of a variable declaration to be replaced by the keyword var, if its actual type can be statically determined from the initializer. This reduces repetition, especially for types with multiple generic type-parameters , and adheres more closely to the DRY principle.
One study has found that readers can recognize snake case values more quickly than camel case. However, "subjects were trained mainly in the underscore style", so the possibility of bias cannot be eliminated. [1] A variation is screaming snake case, where words are written in all caps (stylized as SCREAMING_SNAKE_CASE). [2]
For example, the use of upper camel case data element names is a convention used in many standard but is not specified by the XML Schema specification. Naming and Design Rules have become an important aspect of each organizations data exchange standards.
When Wikipedia was founded on January 15, 2001, it used the wiki engine UseModWiki, which only supported CamelCase links at that time. These links took the form of plaintext camelcase words, such as "WikiCase", and the displayed title of the page this linked to would split this text at each capital letter, producing "Wiki Case". [1]
Alternating caps, [1] also known as studly caps [a], sticky caps (where "caps" is short for capital letters), or spongecase (in reference to the "Mocking Spongebob" internet meme) is a form of text notation in which the capitalization of letters varies by some pattern, or arbitrarily (often also omitting spaces between words and occasionally some letters).
With those exceptions, the text is hard-coded as upper case. This template substitutes letters with their capital variants, then displays them as small caps, about the same height as lower-case letters. The upper-case conversion happens regardless of user preferences, and the content will copy-paste as upper case.
