Constant definitions are used to create constant identifiers (i.e. identifiers that are associated with a constant).
Example
const
Space = ' ';
message = 'Hello';
first = 1;
last = 10;
DaysInYear = 365.25;
minint = -maxint;
linefeed = #10;Syntax
The syntax for constant definition groups is given below: (NOTE: for clarity some parts of the syntax are omitted, see Irie Pascal Grammar for the full syntax):
constant-definition-group = 'const' constant-definition ';' { constant-definition ';' }
constant = [ sign ] integer-number |
[ sign ] real-number |
[ sign ] constant-identifier |
character-literal |
string-literal
constant-definition = identifier '=' constant
