 ||Identifier Type||Rules for Naming||Examples||
 ||Classes||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).||class Raster;class ImageSprite; 
-||Methods
-| Methods should be verbs, in mixed case with the first letter lowercase, with the first letter of each internal word capitalized.
-| run();
-runFast();
-getBackground(); 
-|-
-|Variables
-|Except for variables, all instance, class, and class constants are in mixed case with a lowercase first letter. Internal words start with capital letters. Variable names should not start with underscore _ or dollar sign $ characters, even though both are allowed.

+||Variables|| Except for variables, all instance, class, and class constants are in mixed case with a lowercase first letter. Internal words start with capital letters. Variable names should not start with underscore _ or dollar sign $ characters, even though both are allowed.
 Variable names should be short yet meaningful. The choice of a variable name should be mnemonic- that is, designed to indicate to the casual observer the intent of its use. One-character variable names should be avoided except for temporary "throwaway" variables. Common names for temporary variables are i, j, k, m, and n for integers; c, d, and e for characters.

 Note: while class names start with an uppercase character, instances of classes are variables and hence start with a lowercase character.
