Question

I could be wrong. PEP 8, for those writing in python, suggests otherwise.
i.e. in python => CamelCase https://www.python.org/dev/peps/pep-0008/

Answer 2

Pascal Case: in Pascal case every word of each letter should be capital like MossawarHussain

Camel case: As the name show it follow the camel structure of word like mossawarHussain

Difference:

Pascal is a subset of Camel case. The first letter of Pascal is capital and first letter of the camel is small that is the major difference between these two cases.

Answer 3

In camel case first letter of first word lower case, and first letter of every word, after that should be Upper Case.

Ex: userName userFullName

In pascal case first letter of every word should be upper case.

Ex: UserName UserFullName

For anyone looking, here's a Python module that'll do either case: to-camel-case

pip install to-camel-case

import to_camel_case

to_camel_case('snake_case') # snakeCase

to_camel_case('snake_case', pascal=True) # SnakeCase

Answer 6

To remember camel case you have to think about the shape of the capital letters. They are like the humps of a camel as you can see in this image.

Pascal Casing - capitalizes each word:

ThisShouldBePascalCase

Camel Casing - is similiar to pascal case but the first word is not capitalized:

thisShouldBeCamelCase

UPDATE: Change the camel case image after reading the comments.
