    Removing spaces between words

    In programming, we often remove the spaces between words because programs of different sorts reserve the space (‘ ’) character for special purposes. Because the space character is reserved, we cannot use it to represent a concept that we express in our human language with multiple words.

    As an example, the concept of user login count is not referenced in our code as user login count often. We do not do the following:

    user login count = 5

    A typical language parse would treat each word as a separate concept. User, login, and count would each be treated as separate things. So, we do something like the following:

    userLoginCount = 5

    Now, the parser will see one concept, userLoginCount, and us programmers can easily see the representation.

    The best way to combine words

    There is no best way to combine words. In the above example, we removed spaces and capitalized each word following the first word. There are, however, a great number of algorithms for combining words, and a few very common ones.

    The commonly used strategies for combining words are: camel case, pascal case, snake case, and kebab case. We’ll go over those here.

    Camel Case (camelCase)

    Camel case combines words by capitalizing all words following the first word and removing the space, as follows:

    Raw: user login count

    Camel Case: userLoginCount

    This is a very popular way to combine words to form a single concept. It is often used as a convention in variable declaration in many languages.

    Pascal Case (PascalCase)

    Pascal case combines words by capitalizing all words (even the first word) and removing the space, as follows:

    Raw: user login count

    Pascal Case: UserLoginCount

    This is also a very popular way to combine words to form a single concept. It is often used as a convention in declaring classes in many languages.

    Snake Case (snake_case)

    Snake case combines words by replacing each space with an underscore (_) and, in the all caps version, all letters are capitalized, as follows:

    Raw: user login count

    Snake Case: user_login_count

    Snake Case (All Caps): USER_LOGIN_COUNT

    This style, when capitalized, is often used as a convention in declaring constants in many languages. When lower cased, it is used conventionally in declaring database field names.

    Kebab Case (kebab-case)

    Kebab case combines words by replacing each space with a dash (-), as follows:

    Raw: user login count

    Kebab Case: user-login-count

    This style is often used in URLs. For example, www.blog.com/cool-article-1. It is a nice, clean, human-readable way to combine the words.

    Which is best?

    There is no best method of combining words. The main thing is to be consistent with the convention used, and, if you’re in a team, to come to an agreement on the convention together.
