# module/file names should be in lowercase (ALL LETTERS)
# example: import mymodule OR import myfile

# ------------------------------------------------------------------------------

# variable/parameter names should use snake case

# (means separate words by '_' (underscore))
# example: this_is_a_variable: int = 5 (: int, represents data type)
# example 2: this_is_a_parameter: str = 'A String'

# ------------------------------------------------------------------------------

# functions: same as variables and parameters

# ------------------------------------------------------------------------------

# classes, uses CamelCase, First letter of each word should be Capital
# example:
# class AClassOk:
#	def __init__(self):
#		pass

# ------------------------------------------------------------------------------

# Constants: ALL LETTERS SHOULD BE CAPITAL, WORDS SEPERATED BY '_'(UNDERSCORE).
# CONST = "OOF"

python variable naming conventions

Comment

# In Python, variables should follow the PEP 8 style guide for naming conventions.
# Some common conventions are:
# - Use lowercase letters with words separated by underscore (snake_case) for variable names.
# - Avoid using reserved keywords as variable names.
# - Use descriptive and meaningful names to improve code readability.

# Examples:
my_variable = 42
name = "John Doe"

# Constants should be written in uppercase, with words separated by underscore.
MY_CONSTANT = 3.14
PI = 3.14159

# It's also recommended to use self-explanatory names for classes, functions, and modules.
class MyClass:
    def my_method(self):
        pass

def my_function():
    pass

import my_module
