Abbreviation And Hungarian (ARCH5011)

Key go.naming.no-hungarian-notation · Severity info · Category naming

Avoid Hungarian-notation type prefixes such as strName, iCount, b_flag and cryptic abbreviations on identifiers; the type system already provides this information and the prefix only adds noise.

Incorrect

func process(strName string, iCount int, bActive bool) {
  for iIdx := 0; iIdx < iCount; iIdx++ {
    log(strName)
  }
}

Correct

func process(name string, count int, active bool) {
  for i := 0; i < count; i++ {
    log(name)
  }
}

Fix

Drop the type prefixes and use plain names that describe intent.
