Naming Rules and Conventions

Rules

Names can contain letters, digits and underscores, but cannot start with a digit.
Names are case-sensitive: total and Total are different.
Hard keywords (val, fun, if, class, when...) cannot be used as names.

Conventions

What	Style	Example
Variables and functions	camelCase	`cartTotal`, `getUserName()`
Classes	PascalCase	`OrderSummary`
Constants	UPPER_SNAKE_CASE	`MAX_RETRY`
Packages	lowercase	`com.careeroza.app`

Example

Good names make code read like a sentence.

fun main() {
    val deliveryPartnerName = "Ramesh"
    val etaMinutes = 12
    val isOrderPicked = true
    println("$deliveryPartnerName picked the order: $isOrderPicked, ETA $etaMinutes min")
}

Output

Ramesh picked the order: true, ETA 12 min
