Const Statement

Action

Declares a constant.

Syntax

[scope] const [data-type] const-name = expr [, const-name = expr]...

Variable	Description
`scope`	Optional: Either public (the default) or private. Private declaration are available only in the file in which they occur. Public declarations can be accessed from other files via a use statement. You can specify scope only if the declaration is global, which means that the declaration does not appear within a function, window, or winclass declaration.
`data-type`	Optional: Any data type. If omitted, the constant has the same type as the type of `expr`.
`const-name`	An identifier that names the constant being declared.
`expr`	An expression that evaluates to the value you want to give the constant.

Notes

You use a constant to represent a fixed value. There are several types of constants. Some examples include:

Integer, such as 123 and 0xD7 (hexadecimal).
Floating-point, such as 123.45 and 4.39e-10.
Strings, such as "Now is the time".
Boolean (TRUE and FALSE).
