NC -- Naming Conventions

NC checks whether the code conforms to the naming guidelines. NC controls:

Using capitalization of internal elements of compound identifiers when elements are joined without spaces.
Using prefixes in identifiers.

NC checks capitalization in the following types of identifiers:

Identifier Type	Description
NCCheckClassNames	Class names. The default is `PascalCasing`.
NCCheckEnumeratorNames	Enumerator names. The default is `PascalCasing`.
NCCheckFieldNamesConst	Names of unmodifiable fields. The default is `PascalCasing`.
NCCheckFieldNamesOthear	Names of modifiable fields. The default is `PascalCasing`.
NCCheckFieldNamesPublic	Names of public fields. The default is `PascalCasing`.
NCCheckFieldNamesStatic	Names of static fields. The default is `PascalCasing`.
NCCheckFunctionNames	Function names. The default is `CamelCasing`.
NCCheckLocalVariablesFormalParameterNames	Names of local variables and formal parameters (arguments). The default is `CamelCasing`.
NCCheckMacroNames	Names of macros. The default is `PascalCasing`.
NCCheckMethodNames	Names of methods. The default is `PascalCasing`.
NCCheckNamespaceNames	Names of namespaces. The default is `PascalCasing`.

NC understands the following types of capitalization:

CapitalizationType	Description
`CamelCasing`	Each internal element's initial letter capitalized within a compound identifier and the first letter of the identifier is in lowercase, for example, iPod.
`LowerCasing`	An identifier should contain all letters in lowercase.
`PascalCasing`	Each internal element's initial letter capitalized within a compound identifier and the first letter of the identifier is in uppercase, for example, BackColor.
`UpperCasing`	Identifier should contain all capital letters.

NC checks prefixes in the following types of identifiers:

Identifier Type	Description
NCPrefixClassFieldNames	In names of fields in classes
NCPrefixClassNames	In names of classes
NCPrefixEnumeratorNames	In names of enumerators
NCPrefixInstanceFieldName	In names of fields in objects

 class myClass {
   static const int max_size = 10;
  
   void MyMethod() {
     int Var;
   }
 };

 class MyClass {
   static const int MAX_SIZE = 10;
  
   void myMethod() {
     int var;
   }
 };
