case编程讲解（有意思的三种变量命名法）

英语习惯使用空格来间隔开单词，然而这种用法在编程语言中会带来一些麻烦，所以程序员们就创造出了以下方法： 蛇形命名法（snake case） 驼峰命名法（camel case） 匈牙利命名法（HN case） 帕斯卡命名法（Pascal case） 脊柱命名法（spinal case） 自由命名法（studly caps） 驼峰蛇形命名法。

总体而言，这些命名法都是要克服单词间的空格，从而把不同单词串连起来，最终达到创造出一种新的“单词”的效果。

When it comes to naming resources in a program, there are 3 main types of case conventions: CamelCase, snake_case, and spinal-case. They are just a way of naming the resources to resemble natural language, while avoiding spaces, apostrophes and other exotic characters. This habit is universal in programming languages where only a finite set of characters is authorized for names.

不过主要常用的还是 蛇形命名法（snake case）、驼峰命名法（camel case）和 脊柱命名法（spinal case）

CamelCase has been popularized by the Java language. It intends to emphasize the beginning of each word by making the first letter uppercase. E.g. CamelCase, CurrentUser, AddAttributeToGroup, etc. Aside from debates about its readability, its main drawback is to be ineffective in contexts which are not case sensitive.Two variants coexist:lowerCamelCase: where lowercase is used for the first letter.UpperCamelCase: where the first letter is capital.

用驼峰命名法(camel case)为变量起名字，即第一个单词首字母小写，后面单词首字母大写，例如：fileName、lineNumber。

snake_case has been widely used for years by C programmers, and more recently in Ruby. Words are separated by underscores “_”, thus letting a compiler or an interpreter understand it as a single symbol, but also allowing readers to separate words fluently. However, its popularity has decreased due to a lot of abuses in C programs with over-extended or too short names. Unlike camel case, there are very few contexts where snake case is not usable. Examples: snake_case, current_user, add_attribute_to_group, etc.

用蛇形命名法(snake case)为变量起名字，即用下划线将单词连接起来，例如：file_name、 line_number。

spinal-case is a variant of snake case which uses hyphens “-” to separate words. The pros and cons are quite similar to those of snake case, with the exception that some languages do not allow hyphens in symbol names (for variable, class, or function naming). You may find it referred to as lisp-case because it is the usual way to name variables and functions in lisp dialects. It is also the traditional way of naming folders and files in UNIX and Linux systems. Examples: spinal-case, current-user, add-attribute-to-group, etc.

These 3 cases have their variants, based on criteria such as first letter case, behavior with accents or other special characters. Using English is recommended, to avoid special characters.

spinal case是snake case的变体，它使用连字符“-”来分隔单词，如spinal-case, current-user, add-attribute-to-group等。
