The Solution Rating System

With so many solutions, how can you tell which solutions are most likely to help you and which ones are not? To provide you with a tool to use, we rate our solutions based on various elements that most accurately determine if a solution is a quality solution. To explain what factors affect the solution rating, here are the elements we take into consideration when formulating our solution rating.

The Grade of the Solution
The Zone Rank of the Expert Providing the Solution
The Number of Author and Expert Comments
The Number of Experts Contributing
The Feedback of the Community

Your Input Matters
Because of the way the system is set up, the most important variable in this equation is you. As a member of Experts Exchange, you are able to cast your vote on the quality of the solutions in regard to how complete, accurate, helpful and easy to understand each solution is. When you provide your feedback, each rating is adjusted accordingly. So, if you see a solution that has a poor rating that you think is a good solution, let us know by rating it. As you do, the rating will be adjusted and will become more accurate for other members of our site.

If you have any suggestions that you would like to make for our rating system, please ask a question in the Suggestions Zone of Community Support.

Thank you!

Zones: Java Programming Language, C++ Programming Language

Hello!

I have a short question. In my years of object-oriented software development, I programmed both C++ and Java. Some guys programming C++ were chaotic, using no naming conventions. Their code was difficult to read. Others used either the Hungarian or the Polish notation.

I started with Java in 2002. Nobody abides by one of these notations, but uses a so-called "Java" notation. I can remember that I quarreled with a technical project leader, who was against a member variable name that started with "m_i<VarName>", say. He said that he himself favours the this.<varName> version.

My question is: Is there a good reason for Java people not to stick to the Hungarian notation? Both developers in these languages use IDEs today with text highlighting, so the modern working environments can't be the reason for it.

Thank you for your contribution!
