Using the right letter case is the key to
following a naming convention:
e Lowercase is where all the letters in
a word are written without any
capitalization (e.g., while, if,
mypackage).
e Uppercase is where all the letters in
a word are written in capitals. When
there are more than two words in
the name use underscores to
separate them (e.g., MAX_HOURS,
FIRST_DAY_OF_WEEK).
¢ CamelCase (also known as Upper
CamelCase) is where each new word
begins with a capital letter (e.g.,
CamelCase, CustomerAccount,
PlayingCard).
e Mixed case (also known as Lower
CamelCase) is the same as
CamelCase except the first letter of
the name is in lowercase (e.g.,
hasChildren, customerFirstName,
customerLastName). Examples:
Classes:
class MyClass
{
}
Objects/Variables:
String myName;
MyClass myObject;
Scanner scannerObject = new Scanner(Sys
tem.in);
Methods:
void myMethod()
{
}
String myName = scannerObject.nextLine
QO;

static final char END_OF_FILE = 'e';
myFrame.setDefaultCloseOperation(JFrame.
EXIT_ON_CLOSE) ;
