Question: how to tell maple that one variable does not depend on another?

Hi!

Say, I got an expression that depends on two variables, x and y. How can I tell Maple, that y is actually just a (real) constant, so y does not depend on x?

Because when I apply a differentiation with the "D" - command, it would always also write out expressions, where y is differentiated w.r.t. x.

Thanks!
