This value cannot be changed apart from initialization, hence the name constant, as opposed to a [[variable]] of which the value can vary. A constant can be of any [[datatype]] and can contain a value according to its datatype. For example, an integer has whole numbers between -2^31 and +2^31-1 (e.g. 23) , a float has a floating point number (e.g. 2.674) and a string has a series of characters (e.g. &quot;Hello World!&quot;).</ins></td></tr> <tr><td colspan="2">&nbsp;</td><td>+</td><td style="background: #cfc; font-size: smaller;">&#160;</td></tr> <tr><td colspan="2">&nbsp;</td><td>+</td><td style="background: #cfc; font-size: smaller;"><ins style="color: red; font-weight: bold; text-decoration: none;">There is a number of [[predefined constants]]. These variables are predefined, which means they exist without the programmer making them. They can be useful in a some [[functions]] or when assigning them to some [[global variable]]s.</ins></td></tr> <tr><td colspan="2">&nbsp;</td><td>+</td><td style="background: #cfc; font-size: smaller;">&#160;</td></tr> <tr><td colspan="2">&nbsp;</td><td>+</td><td style="background: #cfc; font-size: smaller;"><ins style="color: red; font-weight: bold; text-decoration: none;">== See Also ==</ins></td></tr> <tr><td colspan="2">&nbsp;</td><td>+</td><td style="background: #cfc; font-size: smaller;"><ins style="color: red; font-weight: bold; text-decoration: none;">* [[constants|A list of predefined constants]]</ins></td></tr> <tr><td colspan="2">&nbsp;</td><td>+</td><td style="background: #cfc; font-size: smaller;"><ins style="color: red; font-weight: bold; text-decoration: none;">* [[Variable]]</ins></td></tr> <tr><td colspan="2">&nbsp;</td><td>+</td><td style="background: #cfc; font-size: smaller;">&#160;</td></tr> <tr><td colspan="2">&nbsp;</td><td>+</td><td style="background: #cfc; font-size: smaller;"><ins style="color: red; font-weight: bold; text-decoration: none;">[[Category:General</ins>]]</td></tr> </table> Sat, 01 Mar 2008 11:11:44 GMT Sandman http://fenixwiki.booleansoup.com/index.php/Talk:Constant http://fenixwiki.booleansoup.com/index.php?title=Constant&diff=3286&oldid=prev <p>Redirecting to <a href="/index.php/Constants" title="Constants">Constants</a></p> <table border='0' width='98%' cellpadding='0' cellspacing='4' style="background-color: white;"> <tr> <td colspan='2' width='50%' align='center' style="background-color: white;">←Older revision</td> <td colspan='2' width='50%' align='center' style="background-color: white;">Revision as of 02:28, 1 September 2007</td> </tr> <tr><td colspan="2" align="left"><strong>Line 1:</strong></td> <td colspan="2" align="left"><strong>Line 1:</strong></td></tr> <tr><td>-</td><td style="background: #ffa; font-size: smaller;">#REDIRECT [[<del style="color: red; font-weight: bold; text-decoration: none;">:Category:constants</del>]]</td><td>+</td><td style="background: #cfc; font-size: smaller;">#REDIRECT [[<ins style="color: red; font-weight: bold; text-decoration: none;">Constants</ins>]]</td></tr> </table> Sat, 01 Sep 2007 02:28:26 GMT Sandman http://fenixwiki.booleansoup.com/index.php/Talk:Constant http://fenixwiki.booleansoup.com/index.php?title=Constant&diff=1982&oldid=prev <p></p> <p><b>New page</b></p><div>#REDIRECT [[:Category:constants]]</div> Tue, 01 May 2007 14:37:54 GMT Sandman http://fenixwiki.booleansoup.com/index.php/Talk:Constant
