Naming Conventions

When declaring variables and functions, you must follow a couple of rules in naming their identifiers. These rules are as follows:

• The variable or function identifier can’t be a reserved word.

• The identifier can’t contain any blank spaces.

• The identifier’s first character can be only a letter of the alphabet (either upper- or lowercase), a number, or an underscore.

Example

The following are valid identifier declarations:

variable1 

_function 

The following are invalid identifier declarations:

variable 1 

function 

TIP

Remember, programming constructs are case sensitive. Thus, a variable identified as VARIABLE differs from a variable identified as variable. Keep this in mind when naming your programming construct identifiers. ...
