Variable Name
How to compose a variable name
We recommend writing variables without spaces, in Latin letters, numbers and with underscores. We do not recommend using spaces, emojis, hyphens and other punctuation marks. In no case should there be a dot in the variable name, because the dot is needed to work with properties, lists and objects.
To compose a variable from several words, you need to bring it to one of the types:
- userPhone is a camel-like way when individual words are glued together, but each next word is written with a capital letter.
- user_phone is a snake-like way when individual words are separated by a lower dash symbol.
For convenience, you can shorten words in long variables, for example, usPh.
