Snake_case is a naming convention in programming where all letters are lowercase and words are separated by underscores (_). This style is widely used for variable names, function names, file names, and database columns, particularly in languages like Python, Ruby, and C, where hyphens or spaces are not allowed. The underscores serve as visible boundaries between words, improving readability without relying on capitalization.

PascalCase is a naming convention in programming where each word in an identifier begins with an uppercase letter and there are no spaces or separators between words. This style is often used for class names, constructor functions, namespaces, and sometimes constants, depending on language-specific conventions. It’s closely related to camelCase, but the first word is capitalized, giving identifiers a distinctive, formal look.
