Well there are different kind of constants:
-Constants,
-Named Constants
there are also
-Constant Variables
What they have in common is that their values can't be changed.
Examples are the best way to explain this:
int num = 42;
// here, 42 is simply a constant
#define MAX_CHARS 100
// in this example, MAX_CHARS is named constant.
const int num = 10;
// in this example, num is constant variable.
