PB5.40B8 - #Empty$ should be #EMPTY$

Post by uwekel »

Hi,

i am just wondering why the name of the new #Empty$ and #Null$ constants are not all in upper case.

Greetings

Virtually all the words PureBasic knows are expressed in CamelCase. For these two to be different would confuse things.

Only Windows constants are uppercase. PureBasic constants, as mentioned above, have always been camelcase.

Also, PB constants are # prefixed, so caps are not needed to differentiate.
