[Scilab-users] What is a valid function name in Scilab?

[sgougeon at free.fr]

Hi Antoine,

As Rakshith Nayak wrote, in Scilab, functions are a type of variables,
so are some variables. Therefore, naming rules for functions are the 
same as for other variables. These rules are described at 
-->help names
http://help.scilab.org/docs/5.4.1/en_US/names.html
Indeed, i agree that some links to this page could be added in the 
See also section of the function's and functions ones :
http://help.scilab.org/docs/5.4.1/en_US/functions.html
http://help.scilab.org/docs/5.4.1/en_US/function.html

It is possible for any user sharing this feeling to post updated 
xml help related files onto bugzilla.

Regards
Samuel

Thanks for your quick answer. 
I think I was not really clear in my post: I am not looking for general good practices in naming your functions or variables, but for the actual, hard-coded limitations in Scilab for function names. 
But your answer was useful as the info I was looking for is available at 'help names'. 
Thanks again, 

Antoine
