Camel Case
Camel case is commonly used in programming to name variables, functions, and object properties—especially in languages like JavaScript, Java, and C#. It improves code readability by visually separating words without using spaces or underscores.
Unlike Pascal Case, which starts with an uppercase letter, or Snake Case, which uses underscores, camel case begins with a lowercase letter and capitalizes each subsequent word. This makes it easy to scan and understand multi-word identifiers in code.
The term “camel” comes from the visual appearance of capital letters acting like humps in the middle of the word. Camel case supports consistent naming conventions across codebases and is part of clean, maintainable syntax standards.
