Singular method name for single object argument, plural for a list?
.net, c#
Solution
I'd say that for the method that receives the list as parameter the name `RemoveAgreement` is not correct for the reason you describe.
I would call it `RemoveAgreements`
For the name of your class (Database) I would say that you're using it as DAO for ALL your entities.
If you were using this class ONLY for Agreement entities I would have this 2 methods
`public void Remove(Agreement agreement)`
and
`public void Remove(IEnumerable<Agreement> agreements)`
Problem
I'm having a problem with naming a method for a database application. In my `Database` instance, I have a method that can remove an `Agreement` object from the database. However, I want to be able to remove multiple `Agreement`s at once, to be able to use transactions. The problem is that I also have an overload to remove a single `Agreement` object. Essentially, my structure is like this: ``` public class Database { // ... public void RemoveAgreement(Agreement a) { // ... } public void RemoveAgreement(IEnumerable<Agreement> agreements) { // ... } } ``` But this can be confusing, as the overload with the list of `Agreement`s has a singular name, despite being inherently plural. My question is, how should I structure this? Should I have two overloads with the name `RemoveAgreement()`, or `RemoveAgreements()`? Or should I use two separate methods, instead of overloads? Thanks.
