Constants in Wolfram Language

Our code example demonstrates the use of constants in Wolfram Language. Here’s the full source code and explanation.

(* Wolfram Language supports constants of various types including string, numeric, and boolean *)

(* Declaring a string constant *)
s = "constant";

(* Print the string constant *)
Print[s];

(* Declaring a numeric constant *)
n = 500000000;

(* Performing arithmetic with constants *)
d = 3*10^20 / n;
Print[d];

(* Converting a constant to an explicit type *)
Print[N[d]];

(* Using the constant in a function that requires a specific type *)
Print[Sin[N[n]]];

To run the program, you can copy the code into a Wolfram Language notebook or script file (e.g., constants.wl) and evaluate the cells.

Here’s the output of the program:

constant
6.*10^11
6.00000000000000000000*10^11
-0.28470407323754404

This demonstrates how constants work in Wolfram Language by declaring and using various types of constants, performing arithmetic, and converting between types.
