C# Constants

• Constants are immutable values which are known at the compile time.


• They do not change for the life of the program


• C# built in types may be declared as constants


• User-defined types including Classes, structs , arrays cannot be 'const'


• C # does not support const methods,properties or events


• When a complier encounters a const identifier in c# source code, it substitutes the literal value into the intermediate language(IL) code the produces 


• Because there is no variable address associated with a constant at run time.


• Constant fields cannot be passed by reference 


• Constants are marked by public,private,protected,internal.
