In Python there aren’t specifically constants, you just assign a value to a variable as you normally would. You could assign a new value to it later if you wanted, but for a constant you just don’t.
PI = 3.14
GRAVITY = 9.8
MY_STRING = ‘Hello world’
Creating constants in a different file
Create the file called, say, “defines.py” and put in it:
PI = 3.14
GRAVITY = 9.8Now in your code file add this:
import definesYou can use the constants in your code like this:
print(defines.PI)
print(defines.GRAVITY)
