The Const statement allows you to declare your own constants.

Once you declare a constant, you cannot change the value of that constant. If you try to change the value, you will get an error message (illegal assignment).

Code:
<% Const myconstant = 71.348 %>
Our current interest rate is <% =myconstant %> % per year.

Output:
Our current interest rate is 71.348 % per year.

You can declare several constants at the same time.
