What is a constant variable and constant string?

Constant variables are those whose value cannot be changed once assigned.

Example:

 const float PI = 3.1429;

 char * const str = "Hello World!";
 const char * const str = "Hello World!";

Constant strings are linked in .rodata area of executable binary which are placed in read-only pages of the memory during execution.
