I’m no RoR expert, but did find a possible approach. From the referenced site you can add inflection rule inside the config/initializers/inflections.rb file: # Add new inflection rules using the following format ActiveSupport::Inflector.inflections do |inflect| inflect.irregular ‘clothing’, ‘clothes’ end
They are EXACTLY equivalent. However, in int *myVariable, myVariable2; It seems obvious that myVariable has type int*, while myVariable2 has type int. In int* myVariable, myVariable2; it may seem obvious that both are of type int*, but that is not correct as myVariable2 has type int. Therefore, the first programming style is more intuitive.
Length() tends to refer to contiguous elements – a string has a length for example. Count() tends to refer to the number of elements in a looser collection. Size() tends to refer to the size of the collection, often this can be different from the length in cases like vectors (or strings), there may be … Read more
A ‘$’ in a variable means nothing special to the interpreter, much like an underscore. From what I’ve seen, many people using jQuery (which is what your example code looks like to me) tend to prefix variables that contain a jQuery object with a $ so that they are easily identified and not mixed up … Read more
I recommend checking out Microsoft’s SQL Server sample databases: https://github.com/Microsoft/sql-server-samples/releases/tag/adventureworks The AdventureWorks sample uses a very clear and consistent naming convention that uses schema names for the organization of database objects. Singular names for tables Singular names for columns Schema name for tables prefix (E.g.: SchemeName.TableName) Pascal casing (a.k.a. upper camel case)
That’s only a convention. The Javascript language does not give any special meaning to identifiers starting with underscore characters. That said, it’s quite a useful convention for a language that doesn’t support encapsulation out of the box. Although there is no way to prevent someone from abusing your classes’ implementations, at least it does clarify … Read more
I had same question, and after reading all answers here I definitely stay with SINGULAR, reasons: Reason 1 (Concept). You can think of bag containing apples like “AppleBag”, it doesn’t matter if contains 0, 1 or a million apples, it is always the same bag. Tables are just that, containers, the table name must describe … Read more
vUsing adjHungarian nnotation vmakes nreading ncode adjdifficult.
In general, methods that end in ! indicate that the method will modify the object it’s called on. Ruby calls these as “dangerous methods” because they change state that someone else might have a reference to. Here’s a simple example for strings: foo = “A STRING” # a string called foo foo.downcase! # modifies foo … Read more
See Python PEP 8: Function and Variable Names: Function names should be lowercase, with words separated by underscores as necessary to improve readability. Variable names follow the same convention as function names. mixedCase is allowed only in contexts where that’s already the prevailing style (e.g. threading.py), to retain backwards compatibility.
