Constants
Constants are similar to variables however their value, as expressed by the name, is always constant or unchanged.
We can declare a constant using the const
keyword, and it's important to initialize it at the same point as well. Following is the syntax for constant declaration & initialization:
const constantName = data;
For example:
const exampleConstant = 123;
Changing the value of a constant results in an error:
const exampleConstant = 123;
exampleConstant = 1234; // Error here
The names of the constants follow the same naming rules as the variables.
