Program Plan Intro

Defining good variable name:

  • In every programming, variable names and other names should at least hint at the meaning or use of thing they are naming.
  • It is very useful to understand a program if the variables contains the meaningful names.

Rules for naming variable:

  • Variable name cannot be a C++ keyboard. Example “int”, “double” cannot be a variable name because of, it is the keyword of C++.
  • Variable name must begin with an alphabet that is upper case (“A” to “Z”) or lowercase (“a” to “z”).
  • Variable name can contain an underscore (_) but can’t contain the other characters such as “!”, “@”, “&” etc.
  • The name of the variable can be of any length however only first 31 characters are important.
  • Variable name contains the combination of upper and lowercase letters.

Example:

The example for proper and improper usage of variable names is given below:

Proper usage of variable names: “mark”, “highestRank”, “first_place” etc.

Improper usage of variable names: “12mark”, “!high@3”, “*place*” etc.
