Initializing Constants

...because when I tell people they're special to me, They ARE, and they forever will be...

...because, the decision to allocate for you a specific portion of the memory space I was privileged to consume during the indeterminate runtime of this program called life, was not a mistake and was a decision scrutinized and meticulously plotted... 

...because when I decided that you be in the category of variables which cannot be changed, I saw to it that my algorithms were in check.

...I may not always use you, but be assured that you are a significant placeholder. You are of great value to my program. Although I admit that I pass you as a parameter to only few of the many functions that I use, remember that, your absence could mean wrong calculations distorted precision and values that do not make sense. You make things right, precise and sensible.


...Be assured that I wouldn't just delete you. That would bring more harm than forgetting a semi-colon. The whole program would crash.  And even if initializing you as a constant was a mistake in the first place.. I embrace it anyway... for I find it to be a blessing that you've shown me how I err as I go through runtime.

...Don't worry... no change in your methods will ever get in the way of my appreciation for you and for what you do. For I always would call you by reference (&) and see you for who you were when you used to be in main( ); 

...If for some reason, a logic bug happens, and you end up being a data type different from who you were. Don't worry... in my eyes, I've already typecasted you to be the same wonderful constant variable you used to be...

...I hope that when the time comes that you'll choose to be in another .class file. Promise me that you'll declare yourself as public static... That way, I could try and use all the possible dot operators I can to fetch the value you hold... You are that important - - - and I'm willing to make some of my private variables public as well in order for the .class file you're in to connect with mine.

...you are a wonderful constant; The decision to declare you as such wasn't a mistake... You are special... and you forever will be
