In programming, '''PascalCase''' denotes the practice of writing compound words or phrases such that the first letter of each concatenated word is capitalized.<ref name=":0">{{Cite web|url=https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/x2dbyw72(v=vs.71).aspx|title=Capitalization Styles|website=msdn.microsoft.com|access-date=2016-04-27}}</ref> No other characters are used to separate the words, like hyphens or underscores. |
|||
For example: |
|||
* BackColor |
|||
* TimeUtc |
|||
* FirstName |
|||
* ComputerRamSize |
|||
This is different from '''[[camelCase]]''' in which the first letter can be lowercase or capitalized and each subsequent concatenated word is capitalized.<ref name=":0" /> |
|||
For example: |
|||
* backColor |
|||
* timeUtc |
|||
* firstName |
|||
* computerRamSize |
|||
''"camelCase" isn't PascalCase, but "PascalCase" is.'' |
|||
and an other variant is [[Snake_case]] in which the words always lowercased and combined with an underscore character (_) |
|||
For example: |
|||
* back_color |
|||
* time_utc |
|||
* first_name |
|||
* computer_ram_size |
|||
==Recent Usage== |
|||
While Microsoft adheres to the above strict usage,<ref name=":0" /> common contemporary usage classes PascalCase as a special type of CamelCase, namely '''upper camel case''', whilst camelCase as defined above is termed '''lower camel case'''. For further details, including history, see main article [[Camel case]]. |
