What is constant?
▪ Constants are said to be rvalues (for “right
values”) because they can be used on only
the right side of an assignment operator

▪ String constant always enclosed with double
quotes
i.e “Pakistan”, “ ”, “IT Knowledge Seekers”

How to create constants in c++


There are two method to define constants in c++
1. By using #define preprocessor directive
2. By using const keyword
#define preprocessor directive const keyword
Syntax Syntax
#define identifier value const data type identifier = value;
Example Example
#define PI 3.1416 const float PI=3.1416;

DIFFERENCE
#define const
▪ is a preprocessor directive ▪ is c++ statement
▪Scope of the symbolic constant is global ▪Scope of const constant may local or global
▪Can’t have data type explicitly compiler ▪const constant have data type as a part of
judge it from literal its syntax
▪Not reserved a separate memory ▪ reserved a memory to hold literal
