Constant

In plain terms

A named value that cannot be changed after assignment.

Going deeper

A constant binds a name to a fixed value that stays the same throughout execution, improving clarity and safety. It won't change.

Under the hood

Prevents accidental modification; signals intent and can enable compiler optimizations.

Examples

PI = 3.14159, config values, const/final keywords, fixed settings.

Think of it like...

Like a permanent label on a value that's sealed and never altered.
