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).
Microsoft has published naming conventions for identifiers in C#, which recommends the use of PascalCase for the names of types and most type members, and camelCase for variables and for private or internal fields. [1] However, these naming conventions are not enforced in the language.
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.
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.
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] This was a feature inherited from Ward Cunningham's WikiWikiWeb and thereby ultimately the programming language Smalltalk .
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).
Lexical tokenization is conversion of a text into (semantically or syntactically) meaningful lexical tokens belonging to categories defined by a "lexer" program. In case of a natural language, those categories include nouns, verbs, adjectives, punctuations etc.
