1003: Follow Naming Convention

Each codebase is using some naming conventions. Either explicitly by following some document, or implicitly by following patterns already used.

It should always look like the file was written by a single person. In the example below you can see how it should not look like:

1num_legs = 6
2wings = 2
3number_of_stings = 1
4no_ears = 2
5nr_hands = 0
6eye_count = 2

Before you start contributing to the existing codebase, it is always better to get familiar with its style. You can search in the code to figure out if somebody has already used a similar name.
