This rule mandates that function names in Kotlin should be written in camel case, starting with a lowercase letter using no underscores. This is convention in Kotlin and enhances readability and maintainability.

Non-Compliant Code Examples

fun Foo() {}

fun Foo_Bar() {}

fun `Foo Bar`() {}

fun foo_bar() {}

Compliant Code Examples

fun foo() {}

fun fooBar() {}

// Any keyword is allowed when wrapped between backticks
fun `fun`() {}
