Do you hate Hungarian Notation?
Do you hate Hungarian Notation?
To Err Is To Be Human. To Game Is Divine!"
I find it very stupid, annoying and hard to read.
To Err Is To Be Human. To Game Is Divine!"
remember my old sig?
"A duck is a duck. There is no excuse for Hungarian notation."
Maybe I should use it again...
Ok have to ask. What the heck is Hungarian Notation?
it was a HORSE, not a duck!
lol...it was, wasnt? i cant even remember my own old sig correctly...
> What the heck is Hungarian Notation?
instead of declaring varbles like this
unsigned int *Whatever
you do this
unsinged int *dwlWhatever
It was created by microsoft to reduce errors. Can you see why no one likes it?
To Err Is To Be Human. To Game Is Divine!"
Hungarian notation:
HWND hwnd;
What it SHOULD be:
WINDOWHANDLE myWindowHandle;
Hungarian notation:
int __mf__dck_;
What it SHOULD be:
int Duck;
yeah, a horse... and who keeps so many exclusively-named variables in a block of code that they would need such a notation anyway!

Ok I understand what it is now. Thanks.
BTW
Its a piece of ****
>A horse is a horse.
Depending on your environment, a horse might also be a
COrse handle. Anyway, the only good reason for not using
it comes from adrianxw, who says todays IDEs will show
the datatype anyway in a tooltip text or similar.
"I don't like it" is not an excuse for larger programs in team
environments. If you create a class CProject, what do you think
how many myProjects will float around in such a project ?
Ever thought about what happens if you want to look for
instances of *your* myProject ? Goodbye SearchAndReplace or
even Find. Why not name it after what it is, projXXX ( where X
is the name ) ? There is a difference between lpszString and
strString.
It's a code. A standard. You don't have to follow it, but if all
in your team do, it really speeds up debugging.

She was so Blonde, she spent 20 minutes looking at the orange juice can because it said "Concentrate."
When in doubt, read the FAQ.
Then ask a smart question.

NO !
Hungarian notation of it would be
int nDuck;

I don't like it. I have always put a lower case p in front of pointers, and I tend to use a "h" in front of handles but that is it.
In the past there may have been a case for this kind of rubbish, but with todays IDE's, if I am not sure what type a variable is, I put my cursor over it, it tells me its type, offers to take me to it's declaration, and what it's current value is.
Wave upon wave of demented avengers march cheerfully out of obscurity unto the dream.
Shouldn't we be calling it Redmond notation? I think we do the
Hungarians a great injustice with this.

No. Wait. Don't hang up!
This is America calling!
it is called Hungarian notation because it was invented by some guy at Microsoft who happened to be hungarian, I am currently at school, but this afternnon I can get the exact name of the guy
