As in any other programming language, Constants are the variables which do not change their value once declared or assigned a value.
In Apex, Constants are used when we want to define variables which should have constant value throughout the program execution. Apex constants are declared with the keyword ”final”.
Example
Consider a CustomerOperationClass class and a constant variable regularCustomerDiscount
inside it −
public class CustomerOperationClass { static final Double regularCustomerDiscount = 0.1; static Double finalPrice = 0; public static Double provideDiscount (Integer price) { //calculate the discount finalPrice = price - price * regularCustomerDiscount; return finalPrice; } }
To see the Output of the above class, you have to execute the following code in the Developer Console Anonymous Window −
Double finalPrice = CustomerOperationClass.provideDiscount(100); System.debug(''finalPrice ''+finalPrice);
