Invalid variable names are identifiers that are not recognised by the language compiler. All user-defined identifiers (both names and type definitions) must be introduced to the compiler by a declaration. A definition is also a declaration, however a definition is not required to use a name, only the declaration. However, all declarations must be defined somewhere.

Different programming languages have different conventions for naming identifier. However, in most languages, a name must always begin with a letter or an underscore, never a digit, because a leading digit usually signifies a value and would only complicate the language compiler's implementation.

Case-sensitive languages, such as C treat 'name', 'Name' and 'NAME' as being different identifiers while case-insensitive languages will treat them as being the same identifier.

In most languages the first character of a variable name cannot be a number?

In most programming languages, variable names cannot start with a number. Variable names must start with a letter, underscore (_), or dollar sign ($). This rule is in place to differentiate variable names from numeric literals.

What are rules used in naming php variable?

Well, firstly, all PHP variable names begin with the dollar sign. After that...PHP variable names must begin with either a letter or an underscore ( _ )PHP variable names can only contain letters, numbers, and underscores.A variable cannot contain spaces. Therefore variable names using more than one word should be separated using an underscore or camel cased. e.g. $multiple_word_variable_name OR $multipleWordVariableName.


How and why are variable names used in programming to process data?

Variable names are used so the code is readable. When the code is compiled to machine languages, it no longer uses the variable names to understand it's operations...sometimes variable names are kept as metadata to help debug but the computer does not need them to execute the program...they are for us so we can easily understand what we are doing.

When declaring a variable one thing you shouldn't do?

When declaring a variable, don't use short and cryptic names such as 'x'. Use descriptive names for the variable, such as 'accumulator'. Also, don't declare more than one variable on the same line. You can, but it will help take some errors away from your code.


Explain different types of coding style in software engineering?

Meaningful variable names. Always use descriptive and meaningful variable names. Don't worry about the length. Meaningful variable names help other people reading your code understand what is going on. Example: if (a <= = 24) What is a? This is confusing. if (vacationHours <= = 24) See, better. <li>Variable scope indicated by name. Code is easier to read and understand if each variable indicates it's scope. One way to do this is to add prefixes to variable names, for example: Scope = Class member or instance variable: m_hours Scope = Class static variable: s_hours Scope = Parameter passed in a method call: p_hours Scope = local variable to a method: l_hours Regards ~Anoop
