Apr 21, 2010 · Note that back in 2010, this answer made sense, but ever since Python 3.4's release in 2014, the answer is "you want to use enum for this", which lets you set an immutable with optional value (because there are two kinds of constants: (1) ones used as a stable key, in which the actual value is irrelevant: the const itself is the value, and (2) ones used for store fixed values)
Oct 9, 2012 · You can use an enum type in Java 5 and onwards for the purpose you have described. It is type safe. A is an instance variable. (If it has the static modifier, then it becomes a static variable.) Constants just means the value doesn't change. Instance variables are data members belonging to the object and not the class.
Nov 5, 2010 · Yes, because all macros (which are what #defines define) are in a single namespace and they take effect everywhere. Variables, including const-qualified variables, can be encapsulated in classes and namespaces. Macros are used in C because in C, a const-qualified variable is not actually a constant, it is just a variable that cannot be modified.
Nov 29, 2009 · In C# the #define preprocessor directive cannot be used to define constants in the way that is typically used in C and C++. in c language: #define (e.g. #define counter 100) in assembly language: equ (e.g. counter equ 100) in c# language: according to msdn refrence: You use #define to define a symbol.
May 18, 2017 · 195. In Kotlin, if you want to create local constants which are supposed to be used within the class, then you can create it like below: val MY_CONSTANT = "Constants". And if you want to create a public constant in Kotlin like public static final in Java, you can create it as follows: companion object {.
DEFINE is a preprocessor instruction (for example, #define x 5). The compiler takes this value and inserts it wherever you are calling x in the program and generate the object file. "Define" constants don't create a symbol entry in symbol table. If you wanted to debug the program, you would not find x. Use constant where ever possible that what ...
May 1, 2011 · Like the C compiler directive, `define is global for the compilation. If your code is ever going to be used with code you don't control you will need to be careful here. Parameters are always local to the module scope so identically named parameters in different design elements will not conflict with each other.
Dec 22, 2009 · The use of an enumeration constant (enum) has many advantages over using the traditional symbolic constant style of #define. These advantages include a lower maintenance requirement, improved program readability, and better debugging capability. 1) The first advantage is that enumerated constants are generated automatically by the compiler.
It will work if you alter the output directory depending on the conditional compilation symbol: <OutputPath>bin\$(Configuration)\$(DefineConstants)\</OutputPath>. This will convince the incremental build to do its work when you change the property in console input. For a real solution, you'd likely pass a different property and used some more ...
As IntelliJ IDEA suggest when extracting constant - make static nested class. This approach works: @RequiredArgsConstructor public enum MyEnum { BAR1(Constants.BAR_VALUE), FOO("Foo"), BAR2(Constants.BAR_VALUE), ..., BARn(Constants.BAR_VALUE); @Getter private final String value; private static class Constants { public static final String BAR_VALUE = "BAR"; } }
