The document discusses constants and variables in C++ programming. It defines a variable as a storage area that holds data, and each variable needs a unique name (identifier). Rules for naming variables include only allowing letters, numbers, and underscores, and variables cannot begin with a number. It also defines constants as variables whose value cannot be changed, using the const keyword to declare them. An example shows declaring and attempting to change a constant named LIGHT_SPEED results in an error.

C++ Variables

In programming, a variable is a container (storage area) to hold data.


To indicate the storage area, each variable should be given a unique name
(identifier). For example,
int age = 14;
Here, age is a variable of the int data type, and we have assigned an
integer value 14 to it.

Rules for naming a variable


•A variable name can only have alphabets, numbers, and the underscore _.
•A variable name cannot begin with a number.
•It is a preferred practice to begin variable names with a lowercase
character. For example, name is preferable to Name.
C++ Constants

In C++, we can create variables whose value cannot be changed.


For that, we use the const keyword. Here's an example:

const int LIGHT_SPEED = 299792458;


LIGHT_SPEED = 2500 // Error! LIGHT_SPEED is a constant.

Here, we have used the keyword const to declare a constant named


LIGHT_SPEED. If we try to change the value of LIGHT_SPEED, we
will
get an error.
