In Computer Programming and Mathematics, variables and constants are ways to refering to a value.
For example X=1 and Y=2
The difference being, variables are meant to be arbitary and changable, while constants are meant to be fixed and unchangable.
For example, there is no reason for the value of Pi to change. So the value of Pi would best be represented by a constant.
Variables change, constants do not.
Constants are fixed numbers that never change, they always stay the same. Variables are number that can change, they 'Vary'.
ask your father
variables, coefficents, and constants
It is a more complicated mathematical expression.
Variables change, constants do not.
Constants are fixed numbers that never change, they always stay the same. Variables are number that can change, they 'Vary'.
The ones called constants.
ask your father
to store values
Constants stays the same independent variables is the variable that is being manipulated
Constants stays the same independent variables is the variable that is being manipulated
Constants are values that remain constant and cannot be changed once they are assigned a value. Variables, on the other hand, can have different values assigned to them and their value can be changed throughout the program. Constants provide a fixed value, while variables provide flexibility and allow for changes in value.
Compare and contrast it with what?
Literals are constants.
Variables are not constants. The terms have opposite meaning.
They are called constants. easy as that!:)>
