Mikroelektronika MIKROE-350 Fiche De Données

Identifiers are arbitrary names of any length given to functions, variables, symbolic
constants, user-defined data types and labels. All these program elements will be
referred to as objects throughout the help (don't be confused with the meaning of
object in object-oriented programming).

Identifiers can contain letters from 

a

to 

z

and 

A

to 

Z

, the underscore character “_”

and digits from 

0

to 

9

. First character must be a letter or an underscore, i.e. identifi-

er cannot begin with a numeral.

mikroBasic PRO for AVR is not case sensitive, so 

Sum, sum,

and 

suM

are equiva-

lent identifiers.

Although identifier names are arbitrary (within the rules stated), errors result if the
same name is used for more than one identifier within the same scope. Simply,
duplicate names are illegal within the same scope. For more information, refer to
Scope and Visibility.

Here are some valid identifiers:

temperature_V1
Pressure
no_hit
dat2string
SUM3

_vtext

… and here are some invalid identifiers:
