Do people use the Hungarian Naming Conventions in

Question

Is it worth learning the convention or is it a bane to readability and maintainability?

Answer 1

It is pointless (and distracting) but is in relatively heavy use at my company, at least for types like ints, strings, booleans, and doubles.

Things like sValue, iCount, dAmount or fAmount, and bFlag are everywhere.

Once upon a time there was a good reason for this convention. Now, it is a cancer.

Answer 2

When using a dynamically typed language, I occasionally use Apps Hungarian. For statically typed languages I don't. See my explanation in the other thread.
