Hello.
I'm new to OOP and am racking my brain over what to name stuff... I have read a lot of different articles on standards and when to use nouns and different case, etc... I'm stumped when it comes to a real world example. In the code below, the namespace is called "Navigation" which I think is correct. Then I have a class called "Heading", which by definition is the direction a person/vehicle is truly pointing towards. I think that is also named correctly. In the code below, I have four things I have named: _WhatToName1, WhatToName2, WhatToName3, and WhatToName4.
The value that gets passed in and stored is a double between 0 and 360 -- essentially the degree value from a circle. For WhatToName3 and WhatToName4, I have seen a lot of places that just use "value" as the name. Is that standard?
As I am just learning, I want to make sure that I start naming stuff correctly so that it can be easily reused and understood.
Thanks in advance for your help,
Stephen

VB.NET:
Namespace Navigation
Public Class Heading
Private _WhatToName1 As Double
Public Sub New(ByVal WhatToName3 As Double)
Me.WhatToName2 = WhatToName3
End Sub
Public Property WhatToName2() As Double
Get
Return _WhatToName1
End Get
Set(ByVal WhatToName4 As Double)
_WhatToName1 = WhatToName4
End Set
End Property
End Class
End Namespace
As I am just learning, I want to make sure that I start naming stuff correctly so that it can be easily reused and understood.
