Constant Symbols

A constant symbol starts with a digit (09) or a period.

You cannot change the value of a constant symbol. It is simply the string consisting of the characters of the symbol (that is, with any lowercase alphabetic characters translated to uppercase).

These are constant symbols:
77
827.53
.12345
12e5       /* Same as 12E5 */
3D
17E-3
