Case Sensitivity (Cross Ref > Language Details)

By Mike Prestwood

Corel Paradox versus C++: A side by side comparison between Corel Paradox and C++.

Language Basics

Language basics is kind of a catch all for absolute beginner stuff. The items (common names) I chose for language basics is a bit random and include items like case sensitivity, commenting, declaring variables, etc.

Case Sensitivity

[Other Languages]

Languages Focus

Case sensitiviy in this case is referring to commands and variable names. For example, are "printf" and "PrintF" equivalent? Are fullname and FullName equivalent? When you create commands, operations, methods, or variables should you worry about case?

Corel Paradox: No

ObjectPAL is not case sensitive. My preference for ObjectPAL is to follow the camel casing promoted in the examples and help files originally developed by Borland.

Syntax Example: 1 certification question.

All of the following are equivalent:

msgInfo "", "Hello"

MsgInfo "", "Hello"

msginfo "", "Hello"

MSGINFO "", "Hello"

Variables are not case sensitive.

Var
 FullName String
endVar

fullname="Mike Prestwood"
msgInfo("", fullNAME)

Camel Casing

C++: Yes

C++ is case sensitive. In C and C++ commands and variable names are case sensitive.

Syntax Example:

The following first standard C++ snippet works:

printf("hello\n");

Printf("hello\n"); //>>>Does not work!
