I'm almost afraid to answer, because I do make mistakes- but as a general
rule:
Most method names (call them 'identifiers') begin with lower case letters,
and use 'mixed case' capitalization. By that I mean if the method name is a
composite of more than one word, that the first letter of each word is
capitalized after the first word. Same for variables. But Class names begin
with upper case letters. . Constants are usually ALL_CAPS with words
separated by underscores.
