#### Pascal Case

The first character of all words is upper case & other characters are lower case.

Mainly used by classes and method name.

```
For example: - class HelloWorld, void HelloWorld ().
```

#### Camel Case

The first character of all words, except the first word, is upper case & other characters are lower case.

Mainly used by variables and method parameters.

```
For example:-studentName, Student (firstName, lastName).
```

#### Hungarian Notation

The word starts with lower case prefix and rest of the word is in Pascal case.

```
 For example: - strStudentName.
```

In this str represents string.

#### Snake Case

In snake case words are separated by underscore (_).

```
For example: - student_name.
```

#### Kebab Case

In this case words are separated by hyphen (-).

```
For example:-student-name.
```
