Appropriate Method name?

[Amruta Jegarkal]

My method returns boolean value.....It accepts Event class object as parameter....Event is a class with property like name,type of event,dateof event,time,id with setters/getters......This method deletes event from file.txt if id in event sent is present in file.....Sends true if id is present else false.......Suggest me a appropriate name for this method as isDeleteEvent() is not appropriate as per my sir.

[Jesper de Jong]

I would just call it deleteEvent.

Since the method has a side effect (it changes the state of a file), I would indeed not call it isDeleteEvent, because that name suggests the method is a getter method, which should not change the state of any object or file.

Agree with Jesper. Either deleteEvent or removeEvent.

I tend to try and use create/delete and add/remove in pairs, so which of the two I'd choose would probably depend on what the corresponding method for adding events to the file.
