The m for member variable, the k for constant (I think). Sometimes you will also see g for global, s for static, and e for enumerator. These prefixes are used to distinguish beteen normal (local) variables, and member/global/static variables or constants/enumerators. Note that you don't have to use these prefixes, but it is considered good practice.

Code:
class MyClass
{
	...

	int mY;

	void Square(int x)
	{
		int y = x*x;
		mY = y;
	}
};
