there is no relationship.... they have to be treated separately....
suppose you can do 5 boxes in one hour... how many boxes will there be after 6 hours?...
it is like this: after 1 hour, 5 that you make + whatever was earlier
after 2 hours, 10 that you make + what was (constant)...
after 6 hours, 30 + constant...(whatever was earlier)
constant remains the same.... while variable keeps adding value depending on some parameter (here time)

A constant is some value that always remains the same. A variable is a value that changes. Pi is a constant. It never changes, it's always 3.141... A variable is a value that changes based on the calculation that you are making. The diameter of the circle is the variable, that depends on the size of the circle. The calculation takes a known constant and a variable and makes a calculation. That way we can measure the circumfrence of a circle using the constant Pi, if I remember that calculation right.

In programming language, if you mean the relationship between constant variable and variable, the relationship is they are both the variables that can hold data in the computer memory.
The only different is that the constant variable contain a fixed value that can't be change during the execution of the program. The variable itself can contain a value that can change.

a constant is something that always stays the same in an experiment, and a variable is something that changes. So, the relationship is that they are opposites

constant stays still - example loan for 5% 20 years will remain 55 fo the entire life of the loan
variable changes - example loan for 5% 20 years. the interest rate can change 4.75%, 6%, etc.

they are exact opposties.
variables change, and constants stay the same, hence the name.
hopethathelps.
