Camel case is how you name your variables using lower case for your first word then capitalizing each subsequent word. For example, if you want to name a variable for the first word in a string, you would name it like this: var firstWord;

here are more examples using camel case:

var numOne; var hoursPerDay;

I hope this helps.

Exactly it is a naming convention which enables programmers to make names slightly more readable.

Sorry I couldn't resist...

Goodluck! --Ricky

it's naming convention to make the code readable ......camelCase(first letter of firstword is in lower case and the first letter of subsequent words are in upper case).

examples in our work spaces:

String firstName

String lastName
