Constant definitions at top 
| ID | STAT-1 | 
| Title | Place constant definitions at the top of the function. | 
| Priority | Recommended | 
| Severity level | 9 | 
| Description | Constant definitions shall be placed at the top of the function, after defining global/persistent variables. | 
| Rationale | That way they can easily be found and identified. | 
Avoid:
function testConstants(x)
y = 3 * x;
MAX_Z = 100;
z = min(y, MAX_Z);
end
Instead use:
function testConstants(x)
MAX_Z = 100;
y = 3 * x;
z = min(y, MAX_Z);
end
