What happens if you assign to a const?

Short answer. A compile error: read-only variable.

When do you set a const value?

Once, when you declare it.

Remember

const = read only
Set it once, when declared
Change it: compile error

Can you lock a variable so nobody changes it? Yes. Const makes a variable read only. Seats is seventy two. Changing it to eighty gives a compile error. Const means read only. Set it once. Changing it is an error.
