    I despise hungarian (for reasons that have been well-covered by salem and others), but I do use an 'm_' prefix for members. This allows for easy differentiation of parameters and members, esp in mutators.
    Code:
    class X
    {
    public:
        void SetY(int y)
        {
             m_y = y;
        }
    private:
        int m_y;
    };
    it's basically shorthand for this->y and it's not actually hungarian, btw.

    If you program in C++, you need Boost. You should also know how to use the Standard Library (STL). Want to make games? After reading this, I don't like WxWidgets anymore. Want to add some scripting to your App?

    Sorry for the long reply. Been busy programming for awhile. Thanks to all of you. I see that many programmers did what I do. I also only use Hungarian Convention for member variables (m_...), pointers (p...), and constants (c_...). And here I thought that I will get a bad karma if I didn't use a right convention.
