So if not uppercase, what is the convention for constants then? And, to

Very personal def: I give constant & variable about the same meaning as
in math: something predefined, or conversely undefined, at design time
(which implies in a compiled language also at compile-time).
f : x --> k.x
k is a constant, x a variable. Same below:
factor3 = 3;
int triple (int x) {return factor3 * x;}
Thus, I consider "enum" and "static" (in some of its numerous senses) as
constant qualifiers.
