For example "numberOfEntries" will be unsigned, since a >negative number simply doesn't make any sense. True enough in that case. However your example pointed out a difference between our styles (although I think the word 'style' is stretching it a bit in my case!). I would just use nEntries (or uiEntries for an unsigned integer) because the hungarian prefix has already made it clear (to me) that it is a number. So there, Hungarian makes for shorter names :-) >>The use of Hungarian notation is one of those computer-religous issues that >>people get very worked up about. > >Agreed. :) Nevertheless I had sensible discussions with people from both camps >and I could understand their reasoning behind the choice. Encouraging news :-) Unlike some topics we have on this forum... :-( Roberto/.
