A quantity that does not change its value; -- used in countradistinction to variable.
A number whose value, when ascertained (as by observation) and substituted in a general mathematical formula expressing an astronomical law, completely determines that law and enables predictions to be made of its effect in particular cases.
a data structure that does not change during the course of execution of a program. It may be a number, a string, or a more complex data structure; -- contrasted with variable.

An identifier having a fixed value.
A never-changing value or data item.
An invariable number or character value.
A data object that retains the same value during a program's execution. A constant's value is established when a program is compiled. A constant is either a literal constant or a named constant.
A constant is a scalar defined by the : command. Its value is determined at the point where the : command is used, and remains unchanged until redefined.
Number which changes with each experiment.

A value which is set at design time, which cannot be changed during program execution. It may be use for things such as the number of feet in a mile, to make your code more readable. Back to where you were
(n.) a data object whose value must not change during execution of an executable program. In Fortran 90 it may be a named constant or a literal constant, whereas in Fortran 77 a constant may only be a literal constant.
any fundamental value (either with units or dimensionless) inherent to the Universe; the fundamental physical constants include the speed of light c, Planck's constant h, the gravitational constant G, Boltzmann's constant k, the gas constant R, and many others
A value that does not change during program execution. A variable, on the other hand, is a value that can—and usually does—change. See “symbolic constant.
A named item that retains a constant value throughout the execution of a program. Constants can be used anywhere in your code in place of actual values. A constant can be a string or numeric literal, another constant, or any combination that includes arithmetic or logical operators except Is and exponentiation. For example: Const A = "MyString"
An unvarying quantity. The four classes of constants specify numbers (arithmetic), truth values (logical), character data (character), and hexadecimal data.
a specific quantity that does not or cannot change or vary; the opposite of a variable.
An object whose value cannot be changed.
The factors that do not change during the experiment.
(common all garden) An item that represents a value that cannot be changed. For Example: 123 'x'
A symbol defined in a #define preprocessor directive to represent a constant value.
A value in a software program that never changes, as opposed to a variable which can change.
A constant is a variable that will never change. By using the keyword final, a variable can be assigned to only once. (This is usually done when the variable is declared, but not nexessarily.) Most constants are declared as being final and static, which makes them available without an instance of the class that contains them, but this is not required. The keyword final is really what makes a variable a constant.
In programming circles, a constant is a value that doesn't change. Constants are very similar to variables because both use a name to refer to a memory location that holds a value. The exception is that, with constants, that value can't change; with variables, it can. Normally, trying to change a constant would generate a compile-time error. Unfortunately, Perl does not have true constants, but you can emulate them by initializing a variable and then never assigning a second value to it. Some programmers like to emulate constants by using a function to return a value. This works, but it is very, very slow.
The constants in an experiment are all the factors that do not change. These will vary depending on what question is being addressed. In a bioassay experiment, usually the temperature is kept constant. However, if the question being investigated were, "How does temperature affect lettuce seed germination and growth?" then in this case the temperature would be a variable rather than a constant.
A quantity that does not change its value, no matter what happens to other related variables.
Item of data that seldom or never changes, e.g. degrees in a circle, name of a street.
either an atom or a number. As the name suggests their value does not change.
If the contents of a variable do not change, that variable is called a constant.
A variable that cannot change in value throughout a program.
Quantity which doesn't change and must not change within an equation.
A variable or object whose value doesn't change.
A value that does not change, either represented by its value or a letter.
A fixed quantity or numerical value.
A fixed value, as opposed to a variable which is a symbol for a changing value.
a number that does not change value.
1. an item with a fixed value or something which does not change. For example, in Lingo, TRUE is a constant that always equals one (1), and FALSE is a constant that always equals zero (0). See dynamic, static, Death and Taxes.
A data object whose value does not change during the execution of a program; the value is defined at the time of compilation. A constant can be named (using the PARAMETER attribute or statement) or unnamed. An unnamed constant is called a literal constant. The value of a constant can be numeric or logical, or it can be a character string. Contrast with variable.
Data that could be in variables that is instead typed directly into your code. Numbers and strings are the most common variable types that are expressed as constants.
variable which value cannot be changed at run-time.
A term which does not contain a variable.
A quantity that does not change its value in a given expression or equation (e.g., In the expression 3s + 4, 3 and 4 are constants).
A constant is a value which never changes, regardless of circumstances. One example of a constant in a formula is the number 3: The number 3 will never become a different value. Constants are in contrast to variables, which can change their values.
