For example, in order to use the Const Statement to create a reference to the value of pi to 50 decimal places, you use the following code:

Const pi = 3.14159265358979323846264338327950288419716939937510

The important thing to remember is that, constants can not be changed once set in your code– Doing so will result in an error being thrown.
