Question

When using the camelCase naming convention, the first word of the variable name is written in lowercase and the first characters of all subsequent words are written in uppercase?

Answer 1

Answer:

There are two types of CamelCase naming conventions:  

The Upper Camel Case (Also Known as the Pascal Case), whereby the first letter of the first part of the phrase is a capital letter. Ex: FinalPhaseWritingCompetition  

The Lower Camel Case (Also Known as the Dromedary Case), whereby the first letter of the first part of the phrase is a lowercase letter. Ex: finalPhaseWritingCompetition

Explanation:

CamelCase naming convention is a method of writing phrases or names that are all joined together with no spaces with the first letter of every word in that phrase beginning with a capital letter. Two forms of this convention are distinguished the Upper Camel Case and the Lower Camel Case, and each can be used according to one's preference. It is important to note that some do use the term “Camel Case” to only refer to the lower camel case, as there is another term for the upper camel case that is widely used and that is the “Pascal Case”.
