Naming a Variable
• Rules:
• Variable identifiers must start with either an
uppercase or lowercase letter, an underscore (_), or a
dollar sign ($).
• Variable identifiers cannot contain punctuation,
spaces, or dashes.
• Guidelines:
• Begin each variable with a lowercase letter;
subsequent words should be capitalized, such as
myVariable.
• Chose names that are mnemonic and that indicate to
the casual observer the intent of the variable.
