WHAT ARE HUNGARIAN NOTATIONS ?

WHAT THEY DO ???????

It's a naming style, it does nothing

I am new to programming but I went and researched your answer.

Hungarian notation is just that, a notation.

One notation that we all use is "spaces" to make it easier to read code.

When I am taking notes in school I use my own notation so I can keep up.
Example: Because = B/C

You use the notation "np" which means no problem.


One example of Hungarian notation used in c++ is when programers come up with names for their variables

int mynumber;  // not using hungarian notation
int imynumber; // The "i" in front of mynumber tells the programer that it is an integer 

This is useful so when a programmer see a variable in their code they will know right away what kind of variable it is.

Thanks now i know :)

Hungarian notation has been widely criticized and, for the most part, discredited. With modern IDEs providing immediate tooltip help for APIs, the supposed need for hungarian notation has disappeared.

[Duthomhas]

Agreed. Hungarian Notation is an abomination.

[jsmith]

Also, it's a bit of a problem, in more ways than one, in generic / template programming.

One thing named after Hungary, and everybody hates it* :(

*including me :P

Check out the links at the bottom.

Hungary seems to get a lot of undeserved guff. Some pre-suited dupe at Redmond invented "Hungarian" Notation.

So you're telling me that Hungarian notation is neither Hungarian nor a notation (it's a naming convention)? That makes me sick.

hahaha helios

i loled at this ;D

Some used their code to publicize
office misdeeds:
int joeySwipedMyTwinkiesYesterday_that_FINK = 42;

Others used their code to pursue their own personal agendas:
int swfSeeksCompanionForLongWalksOnBeach_BmwM3Helpful = 29;

One unanticipated benefit of the latter was a strong increase
in developer participation in code reviews. Ultimately, though,
the social overhead of the policy overwhelmed the software
objectives. An experiment in which we embedded advertising
{int ourEBusinessSolutionKicksBits = 1;} in our source code
product line backfired, reducing sales. As our software
functionality withered, efforts to syndicate the source
code with a local TV soap opera, "As The Mouse Wheel Turns",
collapsed.

Our once-proud business now stands on the brink of failure.
Our new Software Architect is our last hope. She has a degree
in Accounting and Business Software. Her first policy change
takes effect tomorrow: all variable names are now limited to
six characters. Brothers and Sisters, please wish us luck ...
