How to name methods about objective-c-style-guide

👍 +1

Couldn't agree more ... I hate it when I see clumsy method names simply because people believe they should read as a sentence:

initWithMinimum:andWithMaximum:andAlsoAnOffset:

yuck!

Additionally, there is a danger if they get used to using "and" and then one day name a method like
initWith:(int)width and:(int)height

I know our guide says not to do that, and why would anyone, except we did have a tutorial a while back where someone did have and and: type of method. It works fine, except if you decide you need to add C++ into your app (which a reader tried to do) and find out that "and" is a reserved word and it breaks (but it doesn't break by saying "and" is a reserved word, which would at least make it easy to find and fix).

My point, I agree. :)

@elephantronic that was my tutorial and I certainly could've used the style guide there! It created a sloppy bug that was difficult to track down, so +1 to method names

@hollance This is a good point! Is there a pull request to add this?
