Matt Galloway Quotes

You don’t actually need to worry too much about the difference between const and final constants. As a general rule, try const first, and if the compiler complains, then make it final. The benefit of using const is it gives the compiler the freedom to make internal optimizations to the code before compiling it.

If you think “constant variable” sounds a little oxymoronic, just remember that it’s in good company: virtual reality, advanced BASIC, readable Perl and internet security.
