That thread presents many, many different opinions-- I pointed you to it because it covers this topic in depth and detail. It is up to you to decide for yourself what style to use. Just because Google has published a style guide doesn't mean you have to follow it and that thread provides lots of commentary concerning which parts you may want to ignore as well as presenting and discussing alternative styles. Personally, I developed my style by mixing and matching elements of the Google guide, Hadley's guide, a style document written by a member of the R core team and several rules that I decided upon for myself. I think the important thing is to pick a style and remain consistent with it-- while reserving the freedom to make small incremental changes so that your programming methods may evolve with the passage of time. -Charlie -- View this message in context: http://n4.nabble.com/Naming-conventions-for-R-tp948190p948218.html Sent from the R help mailing list archive at Nabble.com. ______________________________________________ R-help@r-project.org mailing list https://stat.ethz.ch/mailman/listinfo/r-help PLEASE do read the posting guide http://www.R-project.org/posting-guide.html and provide commented, minimal, self-contained, reproducible code.
