Marking a variable that is unchanged after initialization ``const`` is an indication to future maintainers that "no this isn't updated, and it's not supposed to be". ``const`` should be used in these situations in the interests of code clarity.
== Noncompliant Code Example
----
public bool Seek(int[] input)
{
int target = 32; // Noncompliant
foreach (int i in input)
if (i == target)
return true;
}
return false;
== Compliant Solution
const int target = 32;
