C++ requires a type specifier for all declarations -

i getting error "c++ requires type specifier declarations" on "const max = 10;" line.

here code:

//a program adds maximum of 10 numbers ( 1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10 )   #include <iostream> #include <cmath> using namespace std; const max = 10; //the error here!  int main() { int sum, num; sum = 0; num = 1;  {     sum = sum + num;     num++; }  while (num <= max); {     cout << "sum = "; } return 0; } 

as error says, c++ requires type specifier declaration. instance, change const max = 10; const int max = 10;.
