snake_case
Example: user_name
, max_value
- Highly readable thanks to underscores.
- Inherited from early languages (C, Python).
- Commonly used in databases (PostgreSQL, MySQL) where case-insensitivity matters.
Practical example
Section titled “Practical example”user_name = "Alice"max_value = 100
Advantages: clear, universal.
Disadvantage: verbose to type (Shift
+ _
).
