http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hungarian_notation http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hungarian_notation > Hungarian notation is an identifier naming convention in computer programming, in which the name of a variable or function indicates its type or intended use. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hungarian_notation#Relation_to_sigils http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hungarian_notation#Relation_to_... > For example, in some forms of BASIC, name$ names a string and count% names an integer. The major difference [...] is that sigils declare the type of the variable to the compiler, while Hungarian notation is purely a naming scheme not enforced by the compiler. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sigil_(computer_programming) http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sigil_(computer_programming)

  Wow, didn't know that. Thanks for sharing, I really learned a lot!

  One place I worked had a coding standard based around hungarian notation. For some reason I hated it, but I kind of like Perl's sigils.

  So it's like latin declinations?

    I guess you mean declension. Are you a Spanish speaker? It's a mistake I usually make too, being the expected translation of "declinación". Yes, it's comparable to declension, though Hungarian notation is prefix and not part of the syntax, while declension is postfix and has syntactic meaning.

      Yes, that's what I meant. I'm a Portuguese speaker ("declinação"). I should have checked the correct translation. Thank you for understanding what I meant and correcting me.

        I'm always afraid to come across as pedant or judgmental, but I enjoy being corrected to improve my English so I posted it anyways :) Glad it helped.
