Languages Focus: Case Sensitivity

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?

Java Case Sensitivity

Java is case sensitive.

Customary casing:

Classes - Initial Caps (Pascal Casing)
Variables - Initial lowecase (Camel case)
Methods - Initial lowecase (Camel case)
