      Constants

      Constants are variables whose values cannot be changed after they are initialized. In Apex, you can create a constant by using the final keyword.

      Example

      // Declare a constant
      final String ERROR_MESSAGE = 'An error has occurred.';
      
      // The following line would cause a compile-time error:
      // ERROR_MESSAGE = 'A new error.';
      
      public class MyMath {
          public static final Decimal PI = 3.14159;
      }
