Hi, the other people use capital letters in variable names because MassOfEarth is the usual Mathematica style and \[Breve] can mixed up with Pattern[] and that make the code nearly unreadable. You have to look very hard to see that A\[Breve]Integer is not A_Integer Regards Jens Steven Siew wrote: > In mathematica you cannot use underscore _ as part of a variable name > as you could in other computer languages. > > Has anyone tried using \[Breve] as an underscore substitute instead. > > for example: > > mass\[Breve]of\[Breve]earth = 5.97*^24 > > or > > mass[esc]bv[esc]of[esc]bv[esc]earth = 5.97*^24 > > I kinda like "breve" because it looks like the standard underscore > character. > > What other characters do other people uses? > > Steven Siew >
