Informs the compiler that the defined variable will never have its
value changed.

Any attempt to change a 'const' variable will generate an error
message.

'const' variables must either be initialized or be function
parameters.

Note: (const char*) is a char pointer which never changes.
      (char const*) is a pointer to a (const char) variable.
