Looking at the set of methods and fields in a ``++class++`` and finding two that differ only by capitalization is confusing to users of the class.


This situation may simply indicate poor naming. Method names should be action-oriented, and thus contain a verb, which is unlikely in the case where both a method and a field have the same name (with or without capitalization differences). However, renaming a public method could be disruptive to callers. Therefore renaming the member is the recommended action.

== Noncompliant Code Example

----
class SomeClass:
    lookUp = false
    def lookup():       # Non-compliant; method name differs from field name only by capitalization
        pass
----

== Compliant Solution

----
class SomeClass:
    lookUp = false
    def getLookUp():
        pass
