Re: Programming style When to use Caps and Underscores?

Use whichever you prefer - just be consistent. The rule for the code at work is "make it match the rest of the file". Asking which to use is like asking any of these other questions:
- tabs or spaces for indenting
- two spaces or four spaces for indenting
- braces on the same line as the conditional or the following line
- "while" on the same line as the closing brase in a do...while or the following line

In other words, it's just a matter of style - use whichever you prefer; the compiler doesn't care. It will help you (and anyone else reading the code) if you are consistent, however. Maybe use underscores for variables and camel case (that's the "capsInTheMiddle") for functions; maybe do the reverse. Just make sure all the code looks the same.
