Main Post: programming languages - Why do we use _ in variable names? - Stack Overflow
Can someone explain "_" and "__" in python clearly for me ?
Main Post:
I'm currently learning OOP and came across these "_" and "__" . These are parts of Python encapsulation. I can understand that by creating a variable with "_" makes that variable private and "__" makes the variable protected. However, my problem is people can still access and modify the private variable anytime outside the class and also you can access protected variables via "name mangling". So then what is the purpose of making a variable private and protected ? Also, is there any way we can make a variable or method really private or protected? And lastly, when should I use private and when should I use protected variable or methods ?
Top Comment: There is no inherent purpose, it's just convention. Python doesn't have real enforced scoping, it just assumes you know not to mess with things you're explicitly asked to not mess with.

Difference between "private instance fields" and "private fields"
Main Post:
According to this Microsoft document, specific conventions for naming have been written, and the meaning of the following two items is not clear to me.
1: Use camelCase for method arguments, local variables, and private fields.
2: Private instance fields start with an underscore (_).
First, what are the differences between private fields and private instance fields, according to the contents?
Second, how do we use private instance fields whose names must begin with an underscore as function arguments according to the above two conventions (please provide an example)?
Third, does the following code follow Microsoft's C# identifier naming conventions?
using UnityEngine; public class PlayerController : MonoBehaviour { #region fields //Private fields private float vehicleSpeed = 5.0f; private float turnSpeed = 25f; private float horizontalInput; private float forwardInput; #endregion #region functions/methods // Start is called before the first frame update void Start() { } // Update is called once per frame void Update() { horizontalInput = Input.GetAxis("Horizontal"); forwardInput = Input.GetAxis("Vertical"); //We'll move the vehicle forward transform.Translate(Vector3.forward * Time.deltaTime * vehicleSpeed * forwardInput); //We turn the vehicle transform.Rotate(Vector3.up * Time.deltaTime * turnSpeed * horizontalInput); } #endregion }Top Comment: According to this Microsoft document, specific conventions for naming have been written, and the meaning of the following two items is not clear to me. 1: Use camelCase for method arguments, local variables, and private fields. 2: Private instance...

Is Reddit's new policy that NO subreddits are allowed to be private any longer? I'm getting notifications in private test subreddits that I need to re-open
Main Post:
I have private subreddits with no members that I use for testing, or they were a joke subreddit that is now stale and the sub is now closed.
I mod a sub that is a common misspelling of 2 million member sub with a redirect to the main sub.
I am now starting to receive notices from u/ModCodeofConduct that these subs need to reopen.
Is this Reddit's new policy, or is this just a badly coded script?
Top Comment: Yes, I think the Admins need to clarify this point now. I have private subs that have been private for years upon years. Or restricted for years. A business needs a clear rules / policy during a crisis. Please just post Reddit Inc. policy in this crisis.
