CONST
This reserved word indicates the beginning of one or more constant
definitions that introduces an identifier as a synonym for a constant
value. The identifier may then be used in place of that value.
Constant definitions appear after the program header or any LABEL
declarations, and before any procedure or function definitions. In HP
Pascal, CONST, TYPE, VAR, MODULE, and IMPORT definitions may be
intermixed.
Syntax
Const_decl:
Example
PROGRAM show_CONST;
LABEL 1;
TYPE
type1 = integer;
type2 = Boolean;
str1 = string[5];
CONST
const1 = 3.1415; { constant }
const2 = true;
strconst = str1['abcde']; { string_constructor }
VAR
var1 : type1;
BEGIN
END.
For examples of structured constants, see the appropriate sections.
false
This predefined Boolean constant is equal to the Boolean value false .
The ordinal value of false is 0.
Example
PROGRAM show_false(output);
VAR
what, lie : Boolean;
BEGIN
IF false THEN writeln('Always false, never printed.');
