I have been working on some piece of code recently, and I noticed a subtle tweak in the usage of a word. When creating a method about setting things in place, I noticed it was called setUp.

In this domain, this is called Camel Case, and it means that it should be read in two parts. So it is supposed to be read set up. However, I always used this as a single word, setup.

Is there any difference between the two? Is one of them wrong?

One is a verb, and the other is a noun. Two very different meanings. The difference is akin to "login" vs "log in" and "sign up" vs "signup". – Aleksandr Hovhannisyan Nov 28 '17 at 16:26

I'd advise not getting too hung up on the grammar of variable names in software. – Max Williams Nov 28 '17 at 16:51
It may be a duplicate indeed, they need to improve the research engine :( – Yassine Badache Nov 29 '17 at 08:07
