As we all know that Google likes to observe our coding style along with the core algorithm. I an going through Google's Python Style Guide

The following is the naming suggested by Google (https://google.github.io/styleguide/pyguide.html#316-naming)

module_name, package_name, ClassName, method_name, ExceptionName, function_name, GLOBAL_CONSTANT_NAME, global_var_name, instance_var_name, function_parameter_name, local_var_name, query_proper_noun_for_thing, send_acronym_via_https

Though this is not a strict requirement, and there is still an ongoing debate about the naming conventions, most of the top firms follow Google's style guide in their produciton code and would expect you to follow the same.

Practicing LC questions through Python has habituated me to use mixedCase function names, eg. getMaximumValue, findLongestSubstring. This is incoherent with Google's style guide and I would suggest the users to keep this in mind before appearing for your interviews. I was specifically notified about this during the interview with one of the FAANG companies. Hence, I suggest Leetcode to modify the function and variable names to use _ signature.

Open to hear others' thoughts here.

Cheers!!
