Inaccurate introduction
"In computer programming, a constant is a special kind of variable whose value cannot be altered during program execution." This isn't completely accurate as there are exceptions to the 'rule'. The following C++ code will change the value of a constant: It is also possible to change a  defined symbolic constant much easier. Andrew (talk) 00:12, 30 July 2009 (UTC)
