Naming functions in JavaScript, PHP, and Python


## JavaScript: 1. **CamelCase:** * Use CamelCase for function names. * Example: **calculateTotal**, **getUserById**. 2. **Meaningful verbs:** * Choose verbs that clearly describe the functions action. * Example: **processPayment**, **validateForm**. 3. **Avoid unnecessary abbreviations:** * Use descriptive names instead of abbreviations that may be hard to understand. * Example: **createDocument** instead of **createDoc**. 4. **Be consistent:** * Maintain a consistent naming pattern to make the code more predictable. * Example: **getUsersList** instead of **fetchUsers**. ## PHP: 1. **CamelCase or Snake Case:** * Both are common in PHP, so choose one pattern and stick to it. * Example CamelCase: **calculateTotal**, **getUserById**. * Example Snake Case: **calculate_total**, **get_user_by_id**. 2. **Prefixes and suffixes:** * Add prefixes or suffixes when appropriate to indicate the functions purpose. * Example: **processPayment**, **validateForm**. 3. **Avoid unnecessary abbreviations:** * Similar to JavaScript, avoid abbreviations that may complicate understanding. * Example: **createDocument** instead of **createDoc**. 4. **Be consistent:** * Maintain a consistent pattern for clarity and readability. ## Python: 1. **Snake Case:** * Use snake case for function names. * Example: **calculate_total**, **get_user_by_id**. 2. **Meaningful verbs:** * Choose verbs that clearly describe the functions action. * Example: **process_payment**, **validate_form**. 3. **Avoid unnecessary abbreviations:** * As in other languages, prefer descriptive names over abbreviations. * Example: **create_document** instead of **create_doc**. 4. Be consistent: * Maintain a consistent pattern to promote easier code reading. these are the forms I normally use to name my functions in javascript and python.
