mangojack Expert Licensed User Longtime User Dec 8, 2013 #5 Could someone supply a brief explanation re the difference between the above initialized variable (post #2) and a Constant Would not the variable declared in Process_Globals be the equivalent of a Constant ? Cheers mj Upvote 0

Erel B4X founder Staff member Licensed User Longtime User Dec 8, 2013 #6 Note that you can write: Code: Copy Dim x As Int = 3 About your question, the difference is that the compiler doesn't allow you to change the value of a "constant". This is not the case here. You can change x in your code to a different value. By setting a constant it is clear that the value will never change.[/code] Upvote 0
