constants
Rust has two different types of constants which can be declared in any scope including
global. Both require explicit type annotation:

const : An unchangeable value (the common case).


static : A possibly mut able variable with 'static lifetime. The static lifetime is
inferred and does not have to be specified. Accessing or modifying a mutable static
variable is unsafe .

1 // Globals are declared outside all other scopes.


2 static LANGUAGE: &str = "Rust";
3 const THRESHOLD: i32 = 10;
4
5 fn is_big(n: i32) -> bool {
6 // Access constant in some function
7 n > THRESHOLD
8 }
9
10 fn main() {
11 let n = 16;
12
13 // Access constant in the main thread
14 println!("This is {}", LANGUAGE);
15 println!("The threshold is {}", THRESHOLD);
16 println!("{} is {}", n, if is_big(n) { "big" } else { "small" });
17
18 // Error! Cannot modify a `const`.
19 THRESHOLD = 5;
20 // FIXME ^ Comment out this line
21 }
