After reading the response to my first assignment submission, I thought I'd better read that style guide again. Can anyone explain this further: Hungarian Notation violates OO abstraction and is not to be used. I know what Hungarian notation is, a little shaky on OO abstrataction. Thanks
This is one that we've covered in some huge detail in the past. Do a search on all forums for "hungarian" to find all that old stuff. A quick description is that with abstraction, you don't know anything about the innards of a variable. The variable just holds data. If you use HN, you are exposing its innards, so you have lost your abstraction. There are lots of other reasons to not use HN, most involve refactoring. The search should turn up far more than you ever wanted to know.
