22.8 Mapping for Constants

Here are the constant definitions we saw in Section 4.9.5 on page 103 once more:

const bool      AppendByDefault = true;
const byte      LowerNibble = 0x0f;
const string    Advice = "Don't Panic!";
const short     TheAnswer = 42;
const double    PI = 3.1416;

enum Fruit { Apple, Pear, Orange };
const Fruit     FavoriteFruit = Pear;

The generated definitions for these constants are shown below:

AppendByDefault = True
LowerNibble = 15
Advice = "Don't Panic!"
TheAnswer = 42
PI = 3.1416
FavoriteFruit = Fruit.Pear

As you can see, each Slice constant is mapped to a Python attribute with the same name as the constant.
