CamelCase

CamelCase is a naming convention used in programming and other contexts where compound words or phrases are written without spaces, and each word begins with a capital letter except possibly the first. It is commonly employed for naming variables, functions, classes, and other identifiers in code to improve readability and consistency. The two main variants are lower camel case (e.g., 'myVariableName') and upper camel case (e.g., 'MyClassName'), also known as Pascal case.

Also known as: camel case, camel-case, camelCaps, medial capitals, PascalCase
🧊Why learn CamelCase?

Developers should learn and use CamelCase to adhere to coding standards and best practices, which enhance code maintainability and collaboration in team environments. It is particularly useful in languages like Java, C#, and JavaScript, where it is the conventional style for naming classes, methods, and variables, helping to distinguish between different types of identifiers and reduce naming conflicts.
