Java for Humans {Naming Conventions}
Remember when you were in the first grade and you had to write your first sentence? The teacher said your sentences must include a subject and a verb. Earlier, she made sure to teach everyone what a subject is and what a verb is so that she could later use it to communicate new ideas, like sentences, with confidence that everyone would understand her. At this point, she was able to tell you how to structure your sentences:
“All sentences must start with a capital letter and end with a punctuation.”
She continued to explain the different types of sentences you can write along with each one’s appropriate punctuation:
“Statements end with a period and questions end with a question mark. Sometimes, we get excited when we say things, so we can use an exclamation point to show how excited we are!”
That is a great teacher. She taught you the conventions of speaking English so that you could effectively communicate your thoughts with your classmates, parents, and the rest of the world in a way everyone who knows English can understand. We do the same thing in Java and every other programming language so others can understand our code.
