hungarian notation

Refers to the programming habit of naming variables so that the variable's intended use is clear from it's name.

The original hungarian notation was first described and used by Charles Simonyi, a hungarian programmer who worked for Microsoft.

Using hungarian notation, a variable called a_crszkvc30LastNameCol would imply a constant reference function argument, holding the contents of a database column of type VARCHAR(30) called LastName that was part of the table's primary key
