Answer 1

In kotlin, const and val both represents the immutability and read only values and act as final keyword in java.

val keyword must be used to declare for run time values and const keyword must be used to declare compile time values.

Keep in mind, const must be used only with primitive data types not for function and constructors.

Example -

const val fun1 = anyFunctionOrConstructor() // it is not fine
    val fun2 = anyFunctionOrConstructor() // it is perfectly fine
    
    const val aa = "My String" // it is perfectly fine
