Which one is correct?
ShutDown()
or
Shutdown()
I’m not quite sure. Seems many Windows API calls reference it as Shutdown. Not being convinced, I did a Google search, and found an article on The Old New Thing that summarizes why there is confusion.
Basically, it boils down to this:
shutdown = noun
shut down = verb
So, my method is called ShutDown, because methods should be action phrases (verbs). The enum value will be Shutdown, because that’s a noun (the state of something).
Who says all those grammar classes in grade school don’t apply to programming?
