+The ``const`` keyword stands for "constant". It is a variable
 *qualifier* that modifies the behavior of the variable, making a

+Constants defined with the ``const`` keyword obey the same rules of
+:ref:`variable scoping <arduino-scope>` that govern other
+variables. This, and the pitfalls of using :ref:`#define
+<arduino-define>`, often makes using the ``const`` keyword a superior
+method for defining constants than ``#define``.
 
 Example

 ::

     float x;
     
     // ....
     
-    x = pi * 2;    // it's fine to use const's in math
+    x = pi * 2;    // it's fine to find the value of a const variable
     
     pi = 7;        // illegal - you can't write to (modify) a constant

 **#define** or **const**
 ------------------------
 
-You can use either **const** or **#define** for creating numeric or
