[C++ Constant] Can constants be declared while the program is running?

Question

I see that constant variables have to be initialized at the time of their creation and they also cannot be changed while the program is running. (Almost similar to a Python's tuple).

However, can it be declared when the program is running? I.E.:

"int my_func {
const int x = 42;
return x;
}

int main {
cout << my_func() << endl;
}

Answer 1

You may. The constant will be local to my_func, and will be re-declared and initialised every time the function is called. This is similar to declaring a constant in main, wherein the constant will be local to main.
