Coding Standards/conventions Question:
Explain Naming Convention Globals?
Answer:
Description
The values of global variables can be used and changed all over the project within all scripts and libraries. Though it is highly recommended to keep the number of global variables small. If global variables tend to be used in a specific project only it is advisable to keep those values in either a project specific library header or in a separate configuration file.
Syntax
"g" + [Prefix]+[ShortDescription]
Letter “g” indicates that the scope of the variable is global. [Prefix] is a lowercase letter that represents the type of the global variable. The rules for [Prefix] are the same as for “Local scope variables”.
Examples
· gnNumOfPersons
· gsPersonLastname
