Let me give you an example. Don't you find lcAccountNumber and lnAccountNumber more useful names than AccountNumber? I think the disctinction is MORE important in a weakly typed language like xBASE. xBASE is downright diabolical in letting you instantiate variables willy-nilly, no type defined, even letting you change type by assigning a different constant, and then expecting certain parameter types at run time. Kaboom!

>Hungarian notation was invented for the C programming language. It has its great value in strong (strict) typed languages has you carefully have to match types. In weak (dynamic) typed languages it is less important, casting from double to int to numeric is done automatically: there is less need to be aware of the exact type. In VFP we have only: character, boolean, numeric, date, datetime and object as base types. Therefore there is less technical need to distinguis between derived types like int, float, double and memo and text.
