I have some class

MyClass

which has two methods:

Lock(){}

and

Unlock(){}

So far so good.

Because of reasons, the two methods are to be unified into one.

  What should be the name of the parameter?

SetLockState(bool isLock)

or

SetLockState(bool isLocked)

or other?

This happens a lot in our code base, and I favor isLock, because it is the new state, but it seems there is some convention about isLocked which I am unfamiliar with, and would love an explanation as to why isLocked is the standard.

SetLockState(bool isLock)
SetLockState(bool isLocked)
// or another better name?

I would love an explanation as to why isLocked is the standard. And I would like to know if there is any objective argument that can support the choice of the parameter name.
