Suggest a single line defining a "constant".

E.g. "A constant is a named data item with a predefined value. You cannot change the value assigned to a predefined constant. "

Separating it into lines gives a more beginner-friendly look. Each line gives separate information about how to declare, what data type it can store, and what not to do.

Although it would be better if it also showed this

You cannot change the value assigned to a predefined constant.
