Naming Things (Clean Code)

• Use intention revealing names, it is obvious what the variable is used for
• Avoid disinformation, for example Account[] accountList; (not a list) It’s better to use Account[] accountArray; or better Account[] accounts;
• Use British English everywhere
• Make meaningful distinctions between variables
• Do not include “noise” words such as “variable”, “the”, “data”.
• Use searchable names
• Avoid “magic values”; hard-coded constant values
