A Java identifier is a name consisting of letters and digits, the
first of which must be a letter. The underscore,
_
, and the dollar
sign, $
, count as letters.
Most Java programmers do not use the underscore when they run words
together to produce long identifiers. Instead, they initiate the first
word with a lowercase character and each interior word with an uppercase
character, as in movieRating
. You should adhere to this
convention; otherwise, other programmers will find your programs
difficult to understand.
