It turns out I've been using the camel notation ... Collection of learning. */Camel notation uses the first letter lowercase, and the next word begins with an uppercase letter, such as MyName. The pastal notation is capitalized in the first letter, and the next word begins with an uppercase letter, such as MyName. The Hungarian notation is based on the pastal notation, preceded by a lowercase letter, or a sequence of lowercase letters, indicating the type of the variable, such as Smyname. A array of arrays

Dynamic Connection Library naming specification name type
The new naming specification type definition in Windows.h describes WINAPI using the far Pascal location in the API declaration, and if you are writing a DLL with an exported API population point, you can use that type in your own API
CALLBACK uses the location of Far Pascal in application callback routines, such as Windows and dialog boxes
LPCSTR is the same as LPSTR, except that LPCSTR is used for read-only string pointers and is similar in definition (const char far*)
A UINT-portable unsigned integer type whose size is determined by the host environment (32-bit for Windows NT and Windows 9x); it is a synonym for unsigned int
LRESULT the type of the return value of the window program
LPARAM declares the type used by LPARAM, LPARAM is the fourth parameter of a window program
WPARAM declares the type used by WPARAM, WPARAM is the third parameter of a window program
LPVOID generic pointer type, same as (void *), can be used instead of LPSTR
Camel, Pastal, Hungarian notation
