C++ Developer - Symbolic Constants and Naming Conventions

The video tutorial covers the concept of literal and symbolic constants in programming, explaining how they differ from variables. It demonstrates how to declare symbolic constants using the 'const' keyword and highlights the importance of setting their values immediately. The tutorial also discusses common compiler errors when attempting to modify constants and introduces naming conventions like camel case and snake case. A practical challenge is provided to create a constant string, reinforcing the learning objectives.

What is a literal constant?

• A variable that can change its value

• A fixed value that cannot be changed

• A symbolic name for a block of memory

• A type of variable that holds a reference

What keyword is used to declare a symbolic constant?

• static

• const

• let

• var

What happens if you try to change the value of a symbolic constant?

• The program will run without errors

• The value will change successfully

• A compiler error will occur

• The program will ignore the change

Which naming convention is typically used for variables?

• Camel casing

• Kebab case

• Capitalized snake case

• Pascal casing

What is the naming convention for constants?

• Uppercase with hyphens

• Lowercase with underscores

• Camel casing

• Capitalized snake case

What should you include before using strings in your code?

• The output library

• The input library

• The string library

• The math library

What will be covered in the next lecture?

• Using the math library

• Advanced debugging techniques

• Taking input from the user

• Creating more complex constants
