Good Examples of Hungarian Notation? [closed]

Answer 1

I only ever use p for a pointer, and that's it. And that's only if I'm in C++. In C# I don't use any hungarian notation. e.g.

MyClass myClass;
MyClass* pMyClass;

That's all :)

Edit: Oh, I just realised that's a lie. I use "m_" for member variables too. e.g.

class
{
private:
bool m_myVar;
}

Answer 2

Well, I use it only with window control variables. I use btn_, txt_, lbl_ etc to spot them. I also find it helpful to look up the control's name by typing its type (btn_ etc).

Answer 3

I was strongly against Hungarian notation until I really started reading about it and trying to understand it's original intent.
After reading Joels post "Wrong" and the article "Rediscovering Hungarian Notation" I really changed my mind. Done correct I belive it must be extremly powerful.

I belive that most Naysayers have never tried it for real and do not truly understand it. I would love to try it out in a real project.

t

Tainted data. Prefix all data incoming from an untrusted source to make that variable as tainted. All tainted data should be cleansed before any real work is done on it.
