There are two simple ways in C to define constants:
- Using
#definepreprocessor. - Using
constkeyword.
The #define Preprocessor
//main.c
#include <stdio.h>
#define LENGTH 10
#define WIDTH 5
#define NEWLINE '\n'
int main()
{
int area;
area = LENGTH * WIDTH;
printf("Value of Area : %d", area);
printf("%c", NEWLINE);
return 0;
}
The const Keyword
//main.c
#include <stdio.h>
int main()
{
const int LENGTH = 10;
const int WIDTH = 5;
const char NEWLINE = '\n';
int area;
area = LENGTH * WIDTH;
printf("Value of Area : %d", area);
printf("%c", NEWLINE);
return 0;
}
