Questions tagged [naming-conventions]

Do not use this tag to ask what you should name something. Naming conventions refer to general rules governing names assigned to programming constructs such as variables and methods. These conventions facilitate readability, and thus improved maintainability of code by enforcing naming consistency across disparate modules.
