Naming Conventions in Kotlin

Kotlin offers a strong type system and a clear naming syntax similar to Java. This ensures code readability and maintainability.

Kotlin Naming Conventions

Variable and Constant Naming

• camelCase: The first letter is written in lower case, and the first letter of each subsequent word is written in upper case.
  Example: ourVariable, numberOfTeams
• Constants: All upper case and words are separated by ‘_’.
  Example: PI, MAX_VALUE

val myName = "Halil" // Variable
const val PI = 3.14159 // Constant

Function Naming

• camelCase: The first letter is written in lower case, and the first letter of each subsequent word is written in upper case.
• Begins with a verb: It begins with a verb that expresses what the function does.
• Example: calculateArea(), findMin()

fun calculateArea(length: Int, width: Int): Int {
    return length * width
}

Class and Object Naming

• PascalCase: The first letter of all words is capitalized.
• Abstract names for abstract concepts: Must clearly express the concept that the class represents.
• Example: Team, Book, Database

class Person(val name…
