In a recent blog someone pointed out to me that boolean values true and false should be uppercase because they are constants. This made me think, usually I put constants in uppercase, however when I code true and false they are always lowercase, so it raises a question about my code style, should all constants be uppercase? If so then true, false and nil should also always be uppercase, but for me this does not look correct. Should constants not be uppercase? One reason why constants are uppercase is so they stand out from variables, but is this the only reason?
When I develop in C#, I follow the recommendation for constants not to be uppercase, so I am starting to feel that maybe this should be the same in Delphi and constants should be camel case for local constants and pascal case for public ones.
