def const[T](expr: T) -> T:
|
|
"""Used to declare that the expression is a constant so that the compiler
|
|
can optimise it. The use of this function should be as follows::
|
|
|
|
from micropython import const
|
|
|
|
CONST_X = const(123)
|
|
CONST_Y = const(2 * CONST_X + 1)
|
|
|
|
Constants declared this way are still accessible as global variables from
|
|
outside the module they are declared in. On the other hand, if a constant
|
|
begins with an underscore then it is hidden, it is not available as a global
|
|
variable, and does not take up any memory during execution.
|
|
|
|
This `const` function is recognised directly by the MicroPython parser and is
|
|
provided as part of the :mod:`micropython` module mainly so that scripts can be
|
|
written which run under both CPython and MicroPython, by following the above
|
|
pattern."""
