![What are constants?](https://answers.mindstick.com/questionanswer/f3f484cb-1d26-4466-ab80-398e4b82b6dd/images/46ec8da1-0cd5-44d5-b118-9b025e312c09.png)**\**

Constant are equivalent to those variables whose values cannot be changed. Hence, having different keywords in different languages defining constant like “const” is been used in C/C++ and “final” in JAVA.

Well, it is not a primitive variable thus an instance of an actual object.
