Type qualifiers add special attributes to existing datatypes in C programming language.
There are three type qualifiers in C language and constant type qualifier is explained below −
Const
There are three types of constants, which are as follows −
Literal constants
Defined constants
Memory constants
Literal constants − These are the unnamed constants that are used to specify data.
For example,
'a=b+7 //Here ‘7’ is literal constant.
Defined constants − These constants use the preprocessor command ‘define" with #
For example, #define PI 3.1415
Memory constants − These constants use ‘C’ qualifier ‘const’, which indicates that the data cannot be changed.
The syntax is as follows −
'const type identifier = value
例如,
const float pi = 3.1415
如您所见,它只是给出一个字面名称。
示例
以下是常量类型限定符的C程序:
'#include<stdio.h>
#define PI 3.1415
main ( ){
const float cpi = 3.14
printf ("literal constant = %f",3.14);
printf ("defined constant = %f", PI);
printf ("memory constant = %f",cpi);
}
输出
当上述程序被执行时,它产生以下结果 −
'literal constant = 3.14
defined constant = 3.1415
memory constant = 3.14
