it will be a syntax error, you cannot declare two variables in a scoop with same name, nor you can assign a "const" with new value

it gives you error because after making variable constant you can't modify it in whole program, while using it as local variable you can modify it externally.

if you are trying to declare two constants with the same name in one class you will get a compile time error.

but you can call another const variable x only if you call it in another method (subroutine)
