naming convention
System for titles
A naming convention is a system of rules for choosing names consistently—for files, variables, products, or anything that needs labeling.
Programming has formal naming conventions: camelCase, snake_case, PascalCase.
Organizations develop naming conventions for documents or projects so items can be found and sorted logically.
Our naming convention puts the date first, then the client code.
