/*******************************************************************
 *
 * Purpose: 'const' example. This code shows that making a
 *          variable 'const' only tells the compiler to not
 *          allow reassignment of the variable. The data is not
 *          in a special location, it can still be altered.
 *
 *          This code may cause compiler warning messages
 *          but will compile and run.

 * Result.
