If a value can be used multiple times you make it constant. The rest are just values because of its uniqueness .

why?

Hobby and hair color are characteristics that could be the same for many people. Name is definitely some unique value. However, you can argue about age and length, in this example we say it are unique values, with not so much similarities among other people.

programming language

We should rewrite the above code; WORK AS MUCH WITH CONSTANTS AS POSSIBLE

static final String GYM = "Hit the Gym!";	//constant
static final String BLACK = "Black";			//constant

String name = "Jack the Programmer";
int age = 60;
double length = 1.9;
String hobby = GYM;
String Haircolor = BLACK;
