Answer from AI
In Dart, method names follow several rules:
- snake_case: Preferred naming style for methods (and functions).
- Names must start with a letter or underscore (
_). - They can contain letters, digits, and underscores (
_). - Cannot be reserved Dart keywords (e.g.,
if,for,class). - Methods starting with an underscore (
_) are considered private to the library in which they are defined.
Example:
// Public method
void processData() {
// ...
}
// Private method (for use within the library)
void _calculateInternalValue() {
// ...
}
// Method with parameters
String formatMessage(String message, int repeatCount) {
// ...
return repeatedMessage;
}
