CS 16 Java coding conventions. Coding conventions make your code easier to read and debug. Thus, for both our and your bene t, we would like you to use the conventions outlined in this document for your Java code1.
5.2.2 Class names. Class names are written in UpperCamelCase. Class names are typically nouns or noun phrases. For example, Character or ImmutableList. Interface names may also be nouns or noun phrases (for example, List), but may sometimes be adjectives or adjective phrases instead (for example, Readable).
3.0 Naming Conventions The naming conventions specified here apply only to Java code written in the basic ASCII character set. Terms such as “upper-case” are obviously meaningless for some Unicode character sets.
Class names should be nouns, in mixed case with the first letter of each internal word capitalized. Try to keep your class names simple and descriptive. Use whole words-avoid acronyms and abbreviations (unless the abbreviation is much more widely used than the long form, such as URL or HTML).
This document reflects the Java language coding standards presented in the Java Language Specification, from Sun Microsystems, Inc. Major contributions are from Peter King, Patrick Naughton, Mike DeMoney, Jonni Kanerva, Kathy Walrath, and Scott Hommel. This document is maintained by Scott Hommel.
These conventions are suggested by several Java communities such as Sun Microsystems and Netscape. All the classes, interfaces, packages, methods and fields of Java programming language are given according to the Java naming convention.
