I reworded the question to make it more obvious that is the intention. While technically it is technically legal under C++ syntax to name your variables starting with an underscore, generally it's not a good idea for several reasons: 1) It's harder to read. 2) Variables starting with underscores (usually a double underscore) are typically used to denote variables used by system libraries.
