Absolutely. But some developers use it as a convention for private
methods or some other indicator.

Thank you for the answer. I have looked for the sample code again and you
are right. Some of the marked funtions are protected and some are private.
Now i have understand that. Thank you again.

Also, there are some special cases, like the __construct() function,
which use a double underscore, and have a special meaning for classes.
