Constant class

(Shortest import: from brian2.core.variables import Constant)

class brian2.core.variables.Constant(name, value, dimensions=Dimension(), owner=None)

Bases: brian2.core.variables.Variable

A scalar constant (e.g. the number of neurons N). Information such as the dtype or whether this variable is a boolean are directly derived from the value. Most of the time Variables.add_constant should be used instead of instantiating this class directly.
