FAQ
What is snake case?
Snake case is a way of writing where words are in all lowercase and separated by underscores (`_`). It is often used in programming languages like Python and Ruby for naming variables and functions.
Why is it called snake case?
It is called snake case because the underscores look like a snake moving on the ground.
What is the difference between snake case and camel case?
The main difference is the separator. Snake case uses an underscore (`my_variable_name`), while camel case uses a capital letter (`myVariableName`). Both are used in programming, but different languages prefer different styles.
