Lecture 125:-  const keyword Initialization list MACROS

It seems like you're referring to several concepts from different programming languages and paradigms. Let's break down each of these concepts:

1. const Keyword: In many programming languages, including C++, C#, and some others, the const keyword is used to declare a constant variable. A constant variable cannot be modified after it is initialized. This is used to indicate that a certain value should remain unchanged throughout the program.

Example in C++:

cppCopy code

const int myConst = 10;

1. Initialization List: In object-oriented programming, especially in languages like C++ and C#, an initialization list is used in constructors to initialize member variables of a class before the constructor's body is executed. This can help improve efficiency and ensure proper initialization order.

Example in C++:

cppCopy code

class MyClass { public: MyClass(int a, int b) : var1(a), var2(b) { // Constructor body } private: int var1; int var2; };

1. MACROS: Macros, short for "macroinstructions," are a way to define reusable code snippets or constants in programming. They are typically processed by the preprocessor before the actual compilation takes place. Macros are commonly used in C and C++ to define constants or to create functions that are replaced with their definitions before the code is compiled.

Example in C:

cCopy code

#define PI 3.14159 #define SQUARE(x) ((x) * (x)) // Usage double area = PI * SQUARE(radius);

It's worth noting that while these concepts are related to programming, they come from different programming languages and paradigms. The const keyword and macros are more prevalent in procedural programming languages like C and C++, while the initialization list is specific to object-oriented languages like C++ and C#. Each of these concepts serves a distinct purpose in their respective languages and programming paradigms.
