[ACCEPTED]-fileName or filename?-naming-conventions
I'd base that decision on the surrounding 4 identifiers.
If filename is the only identifier regarding 3 files in its context, I'd stay with that.
Example:
public void load(String filename) { ... }
But 2 as soon as you have other file attributes 1 I'd consider using this:
private String fileName;
private long fileSize
private DateTime fileAge;
my dictionary says "filename" so 1 i'd keep using a lowercase "n": http://dict.leo.org/?search=filename
The real question is whether the thing is 5 called "file name" or "filename".
The 4 rest is then a trivial matter.
The Wikipedia 3 article is filename, even though the content has 2 both "file name" and "filename".
Personally 1 I vote for "filename".
filename
Like you, I do it to be consistent with 1 the Java libraries.
I'm not really consistent, but I tend to 3 use "filename", even though fileName would 2 be more grammatically correct since "file 1 name" is two words, not one.
