C language the first letter of identifier should be either a
letter or an underscore. But, it is discouraged to start an identifier
name with an underscore though it is legal. It is because, identifier that
starts with underscore can conflict with system names. In such cases,
compiler will complain about it. Some system names that start with
underscore are _fileno, _iob, _wfopen etc.
There is no rule for the length of an identifier. However, the first 31 characters of an identifier are discriminated by the compiler. In C language So, the first 31 letters of two identifiers in a program should be different.
