const

1. const c int = "mouse"
2. const c int = 90

4. const c int = 90.00
Reveal

B, C

A and D are type mismatches.
Select the correct statements
1. ```
const c int = 70
```
2. ```
const c int
c = 70
```
3. ```
var c int
c = 70
```
4. ```
var c = 90
```
Reveal

A, C, D

B is incorrect becaose a const must be assigned a value when it is declared, not in a separate statement.
Can you use shorthand declaration for declaring constants (:=)
- No
- Yes
- Optional

No

Which of the following statement will throw an error

```
const name = "Harry"
fmt.Print(name)
```
```
var name = "Harry"
fmt.Print(name)
```

const name = "Harry"
name = "Snape"
fmt.Print(name)

var name string = "Harry"
fmt.Print(name)

Reveal

C

const is by definition constant. This means that once declared, it cannot be reassigned.
