Description
One major contributor of code smell (in my opinion) is code that superfluously includes the type of the thing in its name. (e.g. List itemList
, or CREATE TABLE itemTable
instead of just items
). This goes hand-in-hand with the "avoid context-duplication" rule too.
One edge-case to consider is date type variables- whereby you may have item.dateAdded
, and simply removing the type from the name leaves you with item.added
, which is very unclear (sounds more like a boolean flag set if the item has been added). My personal preference is to follow the form of At. So, dateAdded
would be addedAt
. This defies the A/HC/LC pattern somewhat however, so take it as you will.
