All constants /// can have a null value. They can have an operand list. Constants can be /// simple (integer and floating point values), complex (arrays and structures), /// or expression based (computations yielding a constant value composed of /// only certain operators and other constant values). /// /// Note that Constants are immutable (once created they never change) /// and are fully shared by structural equivalence.
