Named constants:
In C++, constants represent fixed values and typically, they remain unchanged during program execution.
- Constants should be initialized at the time of their creation.
- New values cannot be assigned to them later.
Syntax to define the named constant:
const data_type qualifier_name = value;
Example:
// Constant declaration
const double PI_Value = 3.14;
Explanation:
It is similar to a variable declaration; however, it needs a keyword “const” before the data type. This keyword tells the compiler that the variable value is constant.
Named constant for given “const” qualifier:
Value 1:
Consider the given Euler’s constant value “2.71828” and its equivalent named constant will be as follows:
// Declare the constant value with double data type
const double EULER = 2.71828;
Explanation:
In the above statement, “const” is a keyword, double is a data type of the “const” qualifier and “EULER” is a name of the “const” qualifier.
Value 2:
Consider the given constant value “5.256E5” for minutes of a year and its equivalent named constant will be as follows:
// Declare the constant value with double data type
const double MINUTES = 5.256E5;
Explanation:
In the above statement, “const” is a keyword, double is a data type of the “const” qualifier and “MINUTES” is a name of the “const” qualifier...

- Question 02: To use variables in your C# programs, you must know how to create variable names. In C#, variable names must adhere to the following rules: The name can contain letters, digits, and the underscore character (_). The first character of the name must be a letter. The underscore is also a legal first character, but its use is not recommended at the beginning of a name. An underscore is often used with special commands, and it's sometimes hard to read. Case matters (that is, upper- and lowercase letters). C# is case-sensitive; thus, the names count and Count refer to two different variables. C# keywords can't be used as variable names. Recall that a keyword is a word that is part of the C# language. (A complete list of the C# keywords can be found in Appendix B, "C# Keywords.")

The interest rate should be between 3% and 10% inclusive. -d is optional and the argument is the downpayment that will be made on the loan. It cannot be larger than the price of the home. You will print out the resulting payment amount as follows. Use rounding to keep money to two decimals and percentages to three decimals.
