Should I follow the programming style when implementing the protocol?

Question

Programming

The programming style we use says that variables must be in lower case and words must be separated by a dash at the bottom.

So, in theory, the variable that contains the status of the order should be named: But in the protocol
order_status

that I implement, it is indicated:
OrderStatus

clarity. But I am tormented by vague doubts…

What do you think?

Answer 1

You need to use your programming style. A person reading the protocol spec will be able to understand that OrderStatus is order_status. But if you have lower case and underscores in the project part, and CamelCase in the part, then what's the point of the style standard?
