7. VBScript Constants
A number of useful constants you can use in your code are built into VBScript.
Constants provide a convenient way to use specific values without actually having to remember the value itself.
Using constants also makes your code more maintainable should the value of any constant ever change.
Because these constants are already defined in VBScript, you don't need to explicitly declare them in your code.
Simply use them in place of the values they represent.
