Use a Standardized Naming Convention

To improve efficiency and reduce errors, it is recommended that all developers in your programming group use the same standardized naming convention. The convention that you use does not matter. The following table describes a common convention that prefixes each variable with a letter that indicates the type. If necessary, you can also use a suffix.

Data Type	Naming Convention	Example
String	s	sName
Integer	i	iReturn
Long integer	l	lBigCount
Single-precision number	si	siAllowance
Double-precision number	d	dBudget
Object	o	oBusComp
Currency	c	cAmtOwed
