The first letter of the name of a variable must reflect its type.

 

•Boolean variables start with a lowercase b (eg. bIsLeapYear).

•Integer or Date variables start with a lowercase n (eg. nToday).

•String variables start with a lowercase s (eg. sMonthName).

 

The names you give to your variables should obey the following rules and suggestions.

 

•Your variable names can not include any digits (0-9) nor the underscore character "_". These are reserved for temporary and system variables.

•Your variable names should only use the following 52 letters: a..z and A..Z.

•Variable names are case-sensitive.

•We suggest using informative compound names for your variable, and making them more legible by putting the first letter of each word in uppercase (eg. bMondayIsHoliday).
