Lower case "k" in Cocoa

Question

I know this is a common convention, but what does the "k" in variable names signify? (i.e. kMaxImageViewSize) I looked in the Apple documentation on Variable names and found no mention of it.

Thanks for answering

Answer 1

That's a general programming notation not specific to Objective-C (i.e. Hungarian Notation) and the "k" stands for "constant".

Answer 2

I would presume it means "konstant". :-)
