<B>CONST</B> <U>name</U> = <U>expr</U> [,<U>name</U> = <U>expr</U>...]
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Declares one or more symbolic constants.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
<U>name</U> An identifier that follows the rules for naming BASIC
|
||
|
|
variables. A type character (%, #, !, or $) may be
|
||
|
|
included in the declaration, but the type character does
|
||
|
|
not have to be used in statements that reference the
|
||
|
|
constant.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
<U>expr</U> An expression consisting of literals, with or without
|
||
|
|
operators, only. The exponentiation operator may not be
|
||
|
|
used, nor may any intrinsic function.

<B>Notes:</B> Symbolic constants produce more efficient code than do
|
||
|
|
constant values assigned to variables.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Symbolic constants are global.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
If a type character is not included in the constant name,
|
||
|
|
the compiler evaluates the expression and assigns the most
|
||
|
|
compact possible data type to the constant.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
DEFtype statements do not affect symbolic constants.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Symbolic constants must be defined before they're
|
||
|
|
referenced.
