Answer Key
Camel casing
Section A: Quick Questions
Q1
B — studentFirstName
Q2
A — totalScore
Q3
B — calculateTotal
Q4
A — Student_age
Q5
A — averageTestMark
Section B: Match the Pairs
Q1
studentFirstName → A variable name in camel case: no spaces, starts lower case, and each later word starts with a capital
Q2
calculateTotal() → A function name in camel case: the first word is lower case and the next word is capitalised
Q3
Camel case variable name made from the words 'final mark' → finalMark = 85
Q4
Camel case function name made from the words 'get high score' → def getHighScore():
Q5
StudentFirstName = "Ava" → The name starts with a capital S. Camel case must start with a lower case letter, so it should be studentFirstName.
Q6
def calculate_total(): → The name uses an underscore (snake case) instead of capitalising the second word. In camel case it should be calculateTotal.
Section C: Definitions
Q1
studentFirstName — Camel casing: join words with no spaces, start with a lower case letter, then capitalise the first letter of each later word, e.g. studentFirstName or calculateTotal.Section D: Fill in the Blanks
Q1

Q1
B — Camel case must start with a lower case letter. StudentLastName starts with a capital, which is Pascal case. It should be studentLastName.
Q2
A — Function names in camel case have no underscores. Each new word starts with a capital letter. It should be calculateTotal.
Q3
D — The second word must start with a capital letter in camel case. totalcost runs the words together in lower case. It should be totalCost.
Q4
B — hello_text is snake case because it uses an underscore. Camel case joins the words and capitalises the second one. It should be helloText.
Q5
C — A camel case name starts with a lower case letter. PlayerScore starts with a capital, so it breaks the pattern. It should be playerScore.
