=== Description
The `const` keyword stands for constant. It is a variable _qualifier_ that modifies the behavior of the variable, making a variable "_read-only_". This means that the variable can be used just as any other variable of its type, but its value cannot be changed. You will get a compiler error if you try to assign a value to a `const` variable.

Constants defined with the `const` keyword obey the rules of link:../scope[variable scoping] that govern other variables. This, and the pitfalls of using `#define`, makes the `const` keyword a superior method for defining constants and is preferred over using link:../../../structure/further-syntax/define[`#define`].

=== Notes and Warnings
*`#define` or `const`*
*link:../../../structure/further-syntax/define[`#define`] or `const`*

You can use either `const` or `#define` for creating numeric or string constants. For link:../../data-types/array[arrays], you will need to use `const`. In general `const` is preferred over `#define` for defining constants.
