mighty longTime Scripters.
In my brief forays into this crazy scripting world, for which I'm feeling less
and less fitted as the days go on, but that's another story,
I've found that sometimes, constants are written like this:
c_myFavoriteFunkyThing
presumably the C, up front, indicating the thing is a constant.
Yet other times, I've seen this other horrible standard going on, where people
will write the whole thing in upperCase, which to my mind is simply horrid! so
far as firstPass comprehension Jaws speech output is concerned, like this:
MYFAVORITEFUNKYTHING
which I PERSONALLY abhor.
TO ADD TO MY DISCUSSION,
I've seen globals written sometimes with an underline separating the small g
from the rest of the global definition, BUT other times, quite happily just
small G for global, small letter denoting global type, i.e. s for string, i for
integer etc, then a mixed case Delineated global name. like this:
giTrunkAndTransfer
which I like infinitely better!
So, what I wanna know is, how horrifically renegade of me would it be, if I
didn't want to follow either of these seemingly standard constant definition
protocols, and do them more like global ones? such that we avoid Jaws having to
waste precious time saying "underline,", but we still hear the c for constant,
separately spoken before the mixed case Constant def? like this:
cMyFavoriteFunkyThing
how unacceptable would such an adoption be for me to make? and, why oh why,
didn't everyone just adopt this one in the first place? since it's how globals
seem to be quite happily defined? so there was already a good precedent there?
I simply do dislike trying to work out what constants are, when they're all
written in uppercase, and surely other speech users must've chafed under this
restriction as well?
thanks for any thoughts.
oh, please do be gentle in your remonstrances if any are due me for these
thoughts/desires eh.
