Difference between static and const variables [duplicate]

Question

what is the difference between "static" and "const" when it comes to declare global variables;

namespace General
{
    public static class Globals
    {
        public const double GMinimum = 1e-1;

        public const double GMaximum = 1e+1;
    }
}

which one is better (considering that these variables wont be changing ever)

namespace General
{
    public static class Globals
    {
        public static double GMinimum1 = 1e-1;

        public static double GMaximum1 = 1e+1;
    }
}

Answer 1

const and readonly perform a similar function on data members, but they have a few important differences. A constant member is defined at compile time and cannot be changed at runtime. Constants are declared as a field, using the const keyword and must be initialized as they are declared.

The static modifier is used to declare a static member, this means that the member is no longer tied to a specific object. The value belongs to the class, additionally the member can be accessed without creating an instance of the class. Only one copy of static fields and events exists, and static methods and properties can only access static fields and static events

Answer 2

const is a constant value, and cannot be changed. It is compiled into the assembly.

static means that it is a value not related to an instance, and it can be changed at run-time (since it isn't readonly).

So if the values are never changed, use consts.
