I guess no any compulsion.
Only when need string into string
Do you know, we have another (at least) one string delimiter :
[ ]

Thanks a lot for a nice topic.
Previously I used my own naming conventions ie., no naming convention at all.
Now I had started using,
cChar
nNumeric
lLogic
dDate
aArray

Hi Rathi
Good decision
Since you are in a starting point, please try three letter prefix ( type + scope ). May be fatiguing at beginning, but after a short time surely you will be addicted because of its benefits.

Oh yes!
For large projects there is no other way to maintain your code too!
I am at a re-starting place and found it a good time to re-evaluate what conventions I use and why. Esgicia and others here always give such insightful advice. A few words from them can save us all many hours of coding.

As rathinagiri said, I prefer the Hungarian notation.
a = Array
b = Block
c = Character
d = Date
l = Logic
n = Numeric
o = Object
And h = hash?

Agreeable (including "h")

I really have to play around with hashes. They're so nice.

I started with prefixing "m" to a variable e.g.:
amount = mamount
name = mname
later adopted the hungarian style
amount = nAmount
name = cName
During Vb6 and. .NET, used:
prefixing with the control names.
name =txtName (textbox control)
Great to know Rathi's style (no conventions)! Never came this "idea", as I learnt to add "m" to memory variables from seniors during learning days of programming!
