k for konstant
- avgcorrection 3y agoYes, that's what it stands for. What's the point of using any prefix at all?
- wrs 3y agoSo you don’t have to wonder if it’s a variable. Old Mac style uses prefixes: kConstant, gGlobalVar, TType, mMemberVar. Remember this was when all coding was done in black and white in a plain text editor.
- colejohnson66 3y agoHungarian notation
- Dylan16807 3y agoHungarian notation is for being more specific than the type system allows. When the type is already "constexpr int", that k isn't helping.
- dkersten 3y agoIMHO that’s much uglier than using caps. Sometimes when I use C++, I will namespace them however: namespace constants { static constexpr int name = 42; } … int x = constants::name; The exact name of the namespace would depend on the use and could be something more descriptive.
