Constants

A constant is a modifier keyword that marks a value as immutable. Use a constant when a value should always stay the same. Some examples of good usages:

• Mathmetical values like PI
• Fixed settings
• Values that should never be reassigned
• Named or IDs that stay the same A constant is a modifier keyword that makes a variable immutable. A constant is declared with the const modifier.

Variables

A variable can be marked as a constant by using the const modifier.

const timeLimit = 100; // timeLimit is now a constant, its value can never change
timeLimit = 50; // Throws an error: 'cannot assign value to timeLimit'

A constant can also be combined with a local variable.

function handleTimer() {
    local const timeLimit = 100;
}

Classes

A property of a class can also be assigned with a const modifier.

class Math {
    const PI = 3.1415926535
}
local math = new Math()
math.PI = 3 // Not allowed, as PI is a constant

This also works for static classes

static class Math {
    static const PI = 3.1415926535
}
Math.PI = 3 // Not allowed, as PI is a constant
