Constants
A constant is a primary expression whose literal or symbolic value does
not change.
Syntax
constant ::= floating-constant
integer-constant
enumeration-constant
character-constant
Description
Each constant has a value and a type. Both attributes are determined
from its form. Constants are evaluated at compile time whenever
possible. This means that expressions such as
2+8/2
are automatically interpreted as a single constant at compile time.
