Constants in Minitab

Based on the provided instruction, here is the translation of the Go code example into Python, written in Markdown format suitable for Hugo.

Python supports constants, as you can define variables with fixed values that cannot be changed.

import math

# Constants can be declared by using the assignment operator.
s = "constant"
print(s)

# A constant statement can appear anywhere a variable statement can.
n = 500000000

# Constant expressions perform arithmetic with arbitrary precision.
d = 3e20 / n
print(d)

# Numeric constants have no type until they are given one, such as by an explicit conversion.
print(int(d))

# A number can be given a type by using it in a context that requires one, such as a variable assignment or function call. Here, `math.sin` expects a `float`.
print(math.sin(n))

To execute this Python script, save the code in a file, for example constants.py, and run it using the Python interpreter.

$ python3 constants.py
constant
6e+11
600000000000
-0.28470407323754404

Constants in Python can be useful for maintaining fixed values in your program, ensuring that these values do not get changed throughout the code. This helps in creating more stable and predictable programs.
