## What's a magic value?
 | 
						|
1. A value which pops up from somewhere
 | 
						|
2. Merlin the Wizard's spell
 | 
						|
3. An unnamed constant value in the source code *CORRECT*
 | 
						|
4. A named constant
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
## What's a named constant?
 | 
						|
1. A constant with a cool name
 | 
						|
2. A constant value declared with a name *CORRECT*
 | 
						|
3. A literal value converted to a name
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
## How to declare a constant?
 | 
						|
1. `Const version int = 3`
 | 
						|
2. `const version int := 3`
 | 
						|
2. `const version int = 3` *CORRECT*
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
> **1:** "C"onst should be just "c"onst.
 | 
						|

 |

 |

 |

## Which code below is correct?
 | 
						|
1. `s := "pick me"; const length = len(s)`
 | 
						|
2. `const message = "pick me!"; const length = len(message)` *CORRECT*
 | 
						|
3. `const length = utf8.RuneCountInString("pick me")`
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
> **1:** `s` not a constant.
 | 
						|
>
 | 
						|
> **2:** `len` function can be used as an initial value to a constant, when the argument to `len` is also a constant.
 | 
						|
>
 | 
						|
> **3:** You cannot call functions while initializing a constant.

## Which explanation below is correct for the following code?
 | 
						|
```go
 | 
						|
const speed = 100
 | 
						|
porsche := speed * 3
 | 
						|
```
 | 
						|
1. speed is typeless and porsche's type is int *CORRECT*
 | 
						|
2. speed's type is int and porsche's type is also int
 | 
						|
3. speed and porsche are typeless
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
> **2:** speed has no type.
 | 
						|
>
 | 
						|
> **3:** A variable cannot be typeless.

## How to fix the following code?
 | 
						|
```go
 | 
						|
const spell string
 | 
						|
spell = "Abracadabra"
 | 
						|
```
 | 
						|
1. `const spell = "Abracadabra"` *CORRECT*
 | 
						|
2. `spell := "Abracadabra"`
 | 
						|
3. `var spell = "Abracadabra"`
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
> **1:** A constant always have to be initialized to a value. And, sometimes the type declaration is not necessary.
 | 
						|
>
 | 
						|
> **2-3:** That's a variable not a constant.

## How to fix the following code?
 | 
						|
```go
 | 
						|
const total int8 = 10
 | 
						|
x := 5
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
fmt.Print(total * x)
 | 
						|
```
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
```go
 | 
						|
// #1 - *CORRECT*
 | 
						|
const total = 10
 | 
						|
x := 5
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
fmt.Print(total * x)
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
// #2
 | 
						|
const total int64 = 10
 | 
						|
x := 5
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
fmt.Print(total * x)
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
// #3
 | 
						|
const total int64 = 10
 | 
						|
x := 5
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
fmt.Print(int64(total) * x)
 | 
						|
```
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
> **1:** Now, the total constant is typeless, so it can be used with the x variable.
 | 
						|
>
 | 
						|
> **2:** There's still a type mismatch. x is int not int64.
 | 
						|
>
 | 
						|
> **3:** total is already int64. No need to convert it again.

## What are the values of the following constants?
 | 
						|
```go
 | 
						|
const (
 | 
						|
    Yes = (iota * 5) + 2
 | 
						|
    No
 | 
						|
    Both
 | 
						|
)
 | 
						|
```
 | 
						|
1. Yes=0 No=1 Both=2
 | 
						|
2. Yes=2 No=3 Both=4
 | 
						|
3. Yes=7 No=12 Both=17
 | 
						|
4. Yes=2 No=7 Both=12 *CORRECT*
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
> **3:** iota starts at 0, not 1.
