[Year 12 IT Apps] Camel Case and Pascal Case

[Mark KELLY]

Once again The Real World (TM) often has more more than one answer to a
problem.
Wikipedia says (the italics are mine):

*CamelCase* (or *camel case*), also known as *medial capitals* or *Pascal
case*,[1] <http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/CamelCase#cite_note-0> is the
practice of writing words with some inner uppercase letters, such as compound
words <http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Compound_noun_and_adjective> or phrases
in which the elements are joined without
spaces<http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Whitespace_%28computer_science%29>,
while each element has a capital
letter<http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Capitalization>within the
compound.

Pascal case words always start with a capital letter, but *camel case
allows the first letter to be either upper or lower case*, as in
"LaBelle<http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Patti_LaBelle>",
"BackColor", or "iPod <http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/IPod>".
