Contribution: Naming Conventions in Episode 02: Variables and Assignment

[aMp-hes]

Hey,

I noticed that one crucial point is missing on the naming conventions of variables, it says: "Variable names:

• cannot start with a digit
• cannot contain spaces, quotation marks, or other punctuation
• may contain an underscore (typically used to separate words in long variable names)"

You should add a fourth point:

• are case-sensitive (so "first_name", "First_Name", "first_Name" are all different variables!)

Also I would reformulate the first point in what's allowed for variable names and not saying what's not allowed: You are saying they cannot start with a digit, but that implies they can start with anything else so also with special characters like "?age". It's better to say:

Variable names

• must start with a capital or non-capital letter or an underscore, you cannot start a variable name with any other special character or a number.

Greetings, Andre
