A constant is an identifier whose value does not change during the execution of a program. Constants are useful for values that need to remain the same throughout the program, such as mathematical constants like π (pi) or fixed configuration values. For example, setting MAX_USERS to 100 ensures this value remains the same, unlike a variable which can change.
