Stop posting this banal thread, which has nothing to do with Eiffel, to

| If you can get the book Code Complete from Microsoft Press (can't
| remember the author) he describes the coding method in detail. It was
| devised by a super-programmer at Microsoft (originally at PARC) named
| Semonyi (if my memory is correct) who was Hungarian.
| 
| The idea is that you include information in the name of the variable
| to help you remember the type. So a pointer to a char might be named
| cpCurrent.
| 
| Same thing applies to function names to help you remember the type
| returned.
| 
| The book I mentioned is a fairly good one on the methodology of
| designing software, but I thought it was far too long and contained
| far too few code examples.
