Anytime I would draw a castle, I would be sure to make the tops of the walls with up and down alternating heights. I did not know there was actually a name for this. I learned today that the name for this type of pattern on the tops of castle walls is "crenellations".

That is one of the very many things I didn't know. Probably a word which will receive little use in the future by architects, too. It's amazing that there are specific words for specific things and yet people use phrases such as "very unique".
I did not know this specific word either, "very unique" word, eh?
ps-I'd spelled it wrong the first time
