Local variable naming convention
Reports local variables that do not follow the naming conventions.
You can specify the required pattern in the inspection options.
Recommended naming conventions: it has to start with a lowercase letter, use camel case and no underscores.
Example:
fun fibonacciNumber(index: Int): Long = when(index) {
0 -> 0
else -> {
// does not follow naming conventions: contains underscore symbol (`_`)
var number_one: Long = 0
// does not follow naming conventions: starts with an uppercase letter
var NUMBER_TWO: Long = 1
// follow naming conventions: starts with a lowercase letter, use camel case and no underscores.
var numberThree: Long = number_one + NUMBER_TWO
for(currentIndex in 2..index) {
numberThree = number_one + NUMBER_TWO
number_one = NUMBER_TWO
NUMBER_TWO = numberThree
}
numberThree
}
}
