Ah Slugsnack, how ignorant you are. Systems Hungarian is a bastardization of true Hungarian notation, and in practice is completely useless.

it's ironic, ironic how you repeatedly quote that article even in this case where it blatantly does not apply

it may be your opinion that Apps hungarian is better than Systems, but bear in mind that that is all it is, your opinion. do not quote it as a gospel truth

it is however, from your choice of words, apparent that you've been reading and bandwagoning on people's blogs, such as :
http://blogs.msdn.com/larryosterman/archive/2004/06/22/162629.aspx

regardless, x0r's example was completely wrong and you hopping eagerly up and down his cock does not change that fact. good job on contributing nothing to this thread other than your infatuation with x0r. perhaps you didn't notice, x0r's attempt at hungarian notation was systems as well. OHMIGODDD !!!

It clearly does apply. You've began learning basic C syntax (god knows you didn't know C a few months back) and suddenly you are the messiah of all things programming. You really do not have the slightest clue.

Not all things are created equal. Systems Hungarian is useless as all it tells you is the type of a variable. That is something you should be able to infer based purely on the usage of said variable, and there is no need to be redundant.

Just a coincidence, I've never read that. Though I may now.

I never said once that his example was a good one, I just chose to call you out on it as you went so far as to correct an already flawed system. It shows your sheer lack of knowledge on the subject. Though, your choice of words clearly shows that you do ingest everything he says, so maybe you have a shrine to him in your closet or something. I know I have a link to a paper on questioning your betters in an attempt to vault yourself to their ranks, but I can't remember what the condition is called again...

Anyways, I expect there will be some sort of reply in the form of "no u", but I realize that this is the internet, where no one changes their mind and everyone but yourself is wrong. You probably shouldn't expect a reply unless you bring anything even remotely intelligent to the table.

Why is Slugsnack so captious? There's no need to argue :\

The only person that is actually winning is the bystanding reading all of these comments of people arguing over the internet over who's right and who's wrong.

Here's my submission.

Code:
   GetNextCapital PROC in_Capital:BYTE

      xor    ecx, ecx
      lea    eax, [in_Capital]
      mov    eax, [eax]
      mov    al, BYTE PTR [eax]
      xor    ah, ah
      bswap    eax
      xor    ah, ah
      xor    al, al
      bswap    eax
      inc    al
      sub    al, 'A'
      cdq
      mov    cl, 'Z'-'A'+1
      div    ecx
      add    edx, 'A'
      mov    eax, edx
      ret   

    GetNextCapital ENDP
