File Naming Convention :- 

A few points regarding file nomenclature are:

 1.) In MSDOS a filename cannot have more than 8 characters whereas in Windows there is no such restriction.
2.) Use meaningful names (depending on what the program performs).
3.) Avoid using underscores in the file names.
4.) Be careful when using characters that look similar to each other. For example ‘1’ (the number one) and ‘l’ (the lowercase alphabet L) look alike.
