Const

The const keyword declares immutable, compile-time constants in GLuaX.

• Immutability: Cannot be changed after assignment.
• Compile-time substitution: Literal values are inlined at compile time.

Syntax

const NAME: Type = value;
const A, B: number = 1, 2;

• Top-level (item) constants must have a type annotation.
• Multiple constants can be declared at once, separated by commas.
• Must be initialized at declaration.

Examples

const MAX_USERS: number = 100;
const GREETING: string = "Welcome!";

Scope

• Item const: Top-level, global to the module.
• Non-item const: Inside functions/blocks, local to their scope.

const VERSION: string = "1.0.0";

func main() {
    const LOCAL_CONST = 42;
    print(VERSION, LOCAL_CONST);
}

Notes:

• pub can only be used with top-level const.
• Type inference is only allowed for local (non-item) constants.
