1
A number_declaration declares a named number.
2
number_declaration::=
defining_identifier_list : constant := static_expression;
3
The static_expression given for a number_declaration is expected to be of any numeric type.
4
The static_expression given for a number declaration shall be a static expression, as defined by clause 4.9.
5
The named number denotes a value of type universal_integer if the type of the static_expression is an integer type. The named number denotes a value of type universal_real if the type of the static_expression is a real type.
6
The value denoted by the named number is the value of the static_expression, converted to the corresponding universal type.
7
The elaboration of a number_declaration has no effect.

Examples of number declarations:
9
Two_Pi : constant := 2.0*Ada.Numerics.Pi; −− a real number (see A.5)
10/2
Max : constant := 500; −− an integer number Max_Line_Size : constant := Max/6; −− the integer 83 Power_16 : constant := 2**16; −− the integer 65_536 One, Un, Eins : constant := 1; −− three different names for 1
