Constant Definition

Constant definition bounds an identifier with an immediate value (value aliasing).

Common form

Global const

// for global const
const <#identifier#> = <#immediate_value_expression#>
// or:
const <#identifier#>: <#type_expression#> = <#immediate_value_expression#>

Local const

let <#identifier#> = <#value_expression#>
// or:
let <#identifier#>: <#type_expression#> = <#value_expression#>

Global constant definition

Global constant definition bounds an identifier with an immediate value.

Examples

const one = 1
const two = one + 1
const three = one + two
const four = two * 2

const message = "Hello World!\n"

public func main () -> Int32 {
	printf("%s\n", message)
	return 0
}

Local constant definition

Local constant definition bounds an identifier with an value.

Examples

func mid (a: Int32, b: Int32) -> Int32 {
	let sum = a + b
	let result: Int32 = sum / 2
	return result
}
