1 00:00:00,420 --> 00:00:01,580 Hello and welcome. 2 00:00:01,670 --> 00:00:07,400 In this video I'll be showing you some variable naming convention. 3 00:00:07,590 --> 00:00:14,670 These are basic rules that you need to follow when giving you a variable names. 4 00:00:14,680 --> 00:00:17,560 So I'm just going to read through this table. 5 00:00:17,610 --> 00:00:25,820 So the first thing to take into account is that variable names can not start with numericable. 6 00:00:25,820 --> 00:00:34,190 For example you can use any number you can name in variable 3 x all 4 cars just for example. 7 00:00:34,380 --> 00:00:36,960 Those will be easily called variable names. 8 00:00:37,210 --> 00:00:42,870 However you can combine the numbers w text he can call it variable. 9 00:00:42,870 --> 00:00:47,510 Maybe cars 4 or go for 8 and things like that. 10 00:00:47,550 --> 00:00:53,350 They are perfect that lead variable and you cannot use operators. 11 00:00:53,360 --> 00:01:02,300 Operators may have a mathematical or logical operators you can't use that in variable name. 12 00:01:02,300 --> 00:01:09,210 For example you can call it variable this block that or this minus dad or D times that you can't do 13 00:01:09,210 --> 00:01:22,550 that you can not use any pointers nation marks of any kind in a javascript variable name that the underscore. 14 00:01:22,860 --> 00:01:27,990 So you can call you a variable car call lawn or car hash. 15 00:01:28,230 --> 00:01:34,230 But you can use an underscore on this call is allowed so you can give a variable name on the score card 16 00:01:34,230 --> 00:01:37,750 for example or something on the score. 17 00:01:37,750 --> 00:01:45,780 Some people think that is allowed javascript variable names must never contain spaces. 18 00:01:45,780 --> 00:01:49,680 Never for example you can't name your variable. 19 00:01:49,680 --> 00:01:53,180 My car spays car does not allowed. 20 00:01:53,190 --> 00:01:57,250 However you can give it my car that is legal. 21 00:01:57,300 --> 00:02:05,000 They can not be any spaces between variable names variable names are case sensitive. 22 00:02:05,040 --> 00:02:14,110 For example if you declare a variable my car is different from a variable called my car or my car. 23 00:02:14,130 --> 00:02:20,760 They are all different variations so when you declare and variable name you got to be careful in the 24 00:02:20,820 --> 00:02:27,900 case you use so that when you want to refer to that variable name you are referencing the corette variable 25 00:02:28,520 --> 00:02:31,130 like having a key to the wrong door. 26 00:02:31,290 --> 00:02:37,380 If you don't have the right key you will not be able to open the door so you must make sure you have 27 00:02:37,380 --> 00:02:41,130 your variable names correct in the current case. 28 00:02:41,130 --> 00:02:52,850 Finally you can use any javascript key key words are part of the javascript language itself. 29 00:02:52,890 --> 00:02:55,090 You can't use any of that variable. 30 00:02:55,440 --> 00:02:59,900 For example a window is the key word in javascript. 31 00:02:59,910 --> 00:03:01,000 Part of the language. 32 00:03:01,140 --> 00:03:06,040 Things like open is part of the language location or string. 33 00:03:06,150 --> 00:03:12,430 Those are part of the as group language so it would be illegal to use them on their own. 34 00:03:12,520 --> 00:03:21,000 However you can use them in combination with other things that are the key word. 35 00:03:20,990 --> 00:03:24,900 For example you can call it variable in that window. 36 00:03:25,140 --> 00:03:33,680 Or maybe my string or whatever you can combine them with a text that is acceptable to all. 37 00:03:33,690 --> 00:03:41,280 These are just some key basic rules you need to take into consideration when you are keeping your variable 38 00:03:41,280 --> 00:03:42,130 names. 39 00:03:42,420 --> 00:03:44,020 That's it for this for you. 40 00:03:44,040 --> 00:03:45,530 Thank you for watching. 41 00:03:45,570 --> 00:03:46,670 Bye for now.
