Constants

A constant is a number that you would not want to change during a program's execution. The addresses of the microcontroller's special-function registers are a good example of use and, because the constant numbers are stored in nonvolatile Flash memory, they are available even after a power cycle. The result of executing the word associated with a constant is the data value being left on the stack.
