// Go supports _constants_ of character, string, boolean,
// and numeric values.
package main
import "fmt"
// `const` declares a constant value.
const s string = "constant"
func main() {
fmt.Println(s)
// A `const` statement can appear anywhere a `var` statement can.
const n = 500000000
// Constant expressions perform arithmetic with arbitrary precision.
const d = 3e20 / n
// A numeric constant has no type until it's given one, such as by
// an explicit cast.
fmt.Println(int64(d))
// A number can also be given a type by using it in a context that
// requires one, such as a variable assignment or function call.
// The type it gets depends on its value.
fmt.Println(n) // int
fmt.Println(d) // float64
