Coding Standards/conventions Question:
Explain Naming Convention in Arrays?
Answer:
Description
Arrays in many programming-languages usually represent a fixed list of values (e.g. a list of lastnames). However within SQABasic the size for an array can either be fixed or grow if the number of items in the list is not known during compilation of the source code.
Syntax
"a" + [Prefix]+[ShortDescription]
Letter “a” indicates that the variable is of type array. [Prefix] is a lowercase letter that represents the type of variables in the array. The rules for [Prefix] are the same as for “Local scope variables”.
Examples
· asPersonList
· anNumberList
