    Thumbs up const??

    On this board, i've seen people post code and sometimes when they declare a variable, (such as a float or double ect.) they put const befor it. I 'll give you an example...

    Code:
    const float var;
    See what I mean? Please explain this to me somebody.

    Thanks
    -Chris

    The variable var can not change value. You should also initiate all const declared variables i.e

    const float pi= 3.14;

    if it's just const float var; then it assigns whatever default value the compiler assigns to it to a constant float value. so, you can't change it.
