Why Case Type?

we all use naming to things we define in the program from variables to functions. In Programming, if you want to name a thing with more than one word you can’t name it with added space or without space directly some times it might mislead the code reviewers/ code readers like therapists can sound like therapists or the rapists.

Here comes the Case Type with a solution where it has different ways to name a thing that has more than one word.

Today, we will look into the Different Case Types in the Programming World
