  2. Naming convention (programming) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Naming_convention...

    In Python, if a name is intended to be "private", it is prefixed by one or two underscores. Private variables are enforced in Python only by convention. Names can also be suffixed with an underscore to prevent conflict with Python keywords. Prefixing with double underscores changes behaviour in classes with regard to name mangling.

  3. Underscore - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Underscore

    Python uses names that both start and end with double underscores (so called "dunder methods", as in double underscore) for magic members used for purposes such as operator overloading and reflection, and names starting but not ending with a double underscore to denote private member variables of classes which should be mangled in a manner ...

  4. Snake case - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Snake_case

    Snake case (sometimes stylized autologically as snake_case) is the naming convention in which each space is replaced with an underscore (_) character, and words are written in lowercase. It is a commonly used naming convention in computing, for example for variable and subroutine names, and for filenames.

  5. Name mangling - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Name_mangling

    Python's runtime does not restrict access to such attributes, the mangling only prevents name collisions if a derived class defines an attribute with the same name. On encountering name mangled attributes, Python transforms these names by prepending a single underscore and the name of the enclosing class, for example: >>>

  6. Reserved word - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Reserved_word

    C and C++ are notable in this respect: C99 reserves identifiers that start with two underscores or an underscore followed by an uppercase letter, and further reserves identifiers that start with a single underscore (in the ordinary and tag spaces) for use in file scope; [1] with C++03 further reserves identifiers that contain a double ...

  7. Identifier (computer languages) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Identifier_(computer...

    Which character sequences constitute identifiers depends on the lexical grammar of the language. A common rule is alphanumeric sequences, with underscore also allowed (in some languages, _ is not allowed), and with the condition that it can not begin with a numerical digit (to simplify lexing by avoiding confusing with integer literals) – so foo, foo1, foo_bar, _foo are allowed, but 1foo is ...

  8. Prolog syntax and semantics - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Prolog_syntax_and_semantics

    Variables are denoted by a string consisting of letters, numbers and underscore characters, and beginning with an upper-case letter or underscore. Variables closely resemble variables in logic in that they are placeholders for arbitrary terms. A variable can become instantiated (bound to equal a specific term) via unification.

  9. Variable (computer science) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Variable_(computer_science)

    A variable can eventually be associated with or identified by a memory address. The variable name is the usual way to reference the stored value, in addition to referring to the variable itself, depending on the context. This separation of name and content allows the name to be used independently of the exact information it represents.
