KlasseNavn

KlasseNavn is the identifier used to name a class in object‑oriented programming. It serves as the label by which a type is declared and referenced in code, such as in type declarations, object creation, and type checks.

The term reflects the concept of a class name and is common in Danish and Norwegian programming contexts. In practice, many languages use the word class followed by a language‑specific name, so KlasseNavn corresponds to the English term “class name.” In code, naming often follows established language conventions rather than a single universal rule.

Naming conventions vary by language. In Java and C#, class names typically use PascalCase, for example KundeOrder or ProductInventory. In Python, class names commonly use CapWords. Some languages allow underscores or other styles, and Unicode characters may be permitted depending on locale and compiler settings. The choice of style is usually governed by a language’s ecosystem and the project’s naming policy.

Rules and guidelines include choosing a descriptive, unambiguous name that reflects the class’s purpose; beginning with a letter or underscore as required by the language; avoiding reserved keywords; and not including spaces or punctuation. Consistency with the project’s naming conventions enhances readability and maintainability.

Examples: Java: public class Kunde; Python: class Kunde: pass; C++: class KundeOrder { }; See also Class (programming), Identifier, Naming convention.
