Constants vs Variables
Developers should use constants to define values that remain unchanged throughout a program, such as mathematical constants (e meets developers must learn variables as they are essential for writing functional and maintainable code across all programming languages, used in scenarios like storing user inputs, tracking application state, or performing calculations. Here's our take.

Constants
Nice PickDevelopers should use constants to define values that remain unchanged throughout a program, such as mathematical constants (e
Pros
- +g
- +Related to: variables, data-types
Cons
- -Specific tradeoffs depend on your use case
Variables
Developers must learn variables as they are essential for writing functional and maintainable code across all programming languages, used in scenarios like storing user inputs, tracking application state, or performing calculations
Pros
- +Without variables, programs would lack flexibility and the ability to handle dynamic data, making them impractical for real-world applications like web development, data analysis, or game logic
- +Related to: data-types, scope
Cons
- -Specific tradeoffs depend on your use case
The Verdict
Use Constants if: You want g and can live with specific tradeoffs depend on your use case.
Use Variables if: You prioritize without variables, programs would lack flexibility and the ability to handle dynamic data, making them impractical for real-world applications like web development, data analysis, or game logic over what Constants offers.
