| Nov 12, 2011 at 7:24 | comment | added | 000 | @AnnaLear I am asking something different, My question is related to things like suggested terminology for naming or the grammar notes that can help others understand the purpose of the method better. | |
| Nov 12, 2011 at 3:57 | comment | added | Caleb | Descriptive is more important than concise. Most IDE's offer completion, so length shouldn't be an obstacle, and descriptive names are easier to understand and remember. | |
| Nov 12, 2011 at 3:32 | comment | added | yannis | I think the concise part is more important than the meaningful part, since your scheme is already meaningful. If you are going to go the extra mile, do it for consistency. | |
