| Ans. NUMBER_OF_DAYS_IN_WEEK Constant should be such that it uniquely identifies the value it holds and context of the value. SEVEN uniquely identifies the value but doesn't express the context. Though NUMBER_OF_DAYS_IN_WEEK and NUMBER_OF_DAYS_IN_WEEK_7 makes sense in terms of unique value identification and context but 7 at the end of constant name appears useless as all weeks have 7 days and hence it's the only value it can hold. If it would have been "number of days in a month", it would have made sense to include number of days at the end like NUMBER_OF_DAYS_IN_MONTH_30 NUMBER_OF_DAYS_IN_MONTH_31 NUMBER_OF_DAYS_IN_MONTH_27 NUMBER_OF_DAYS_IN_MONTH_28 | ||||
