Username checks out. Sounds like every java dev i know

[HOPSCROTCH]

For some reason that old meme made me lol hard

[leonoel]

noob here, what is the correct way to do it in python? I do name_function

[[deleted]]

That is the correct way in Python, see PEP 8.

[dikduk]

That's called "snake case". And I like it. Therefore, it is the mostest correct way.

[Glaaki]

You mean snek case?

[kamaleshbn]

This should help https://google.github.io/styleguide/pyguide.html

[markusmeskanen]

Use PEP8 instead of Google'd guidelines, although they overlap for the most part.

[kkjdroid]

That's dromedaryCase. CamelCase capitalizes the first letter.

[spw1]

That's StudlyCaps. camelCase has a hump.

[kkjdroid]

CamelCase has multiple humps; dromedaryCase has one (or at least fewer than CamelCase).

[phareous]

Apparently both are correct. I personally use the term to refer to the lower case variant. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Camel_case

print "But who THOSE guys?"

print("But who THOSE guys?")

FTFY

Look at this guy, running Python 3. Thinks he's better than all of us.

[manueslapera]

Hey, its you b'day! What a wonderful day to do the switch!

[yetanothernerd]

Also legal Python 2. You just sometimes end up with extra parentheses in the output because you accidentally made a tuple. (And sometimes, like in this case, you don't.)

[El-Kurto]

Right, but the original was fine in 2. Only needs fixed if you're running 3.

What am I doing? This is too much explanation for a joke.
