const char *a : means the string is constant and the pointer
is not...
const char *a="HELLO WORLD" , if we take this example for
the whole scope of the program the string is constant and we
can't assign any other string to that pointer 'a'....
char * const a : means the pointer is constant (address) but
string is not......
char * const a="hello world" , if we take this example ,
here the address will be always constant.... string can vary..
char const *a : means string is a constant and pointer is
not..... as we have seen from the first example...

Answer / shaista naaz
char * a = "Hello world";
1)
we cannot make a[i] = 'Some character'. This is not allowed.
but we can make
a = "Hi world";
that is char * a is basically a is a pointer which can point
to different address like when we say
a = "Hello world" and then we say a = "Hi world";
Here a is pointing to different address bit as I said before
If we try a[i] = 'some char' will give compiler error as
because here the string is constant not pointer so this is
const char * a = a is a pointer which is pointing to a
constant string. This is a default behaviour.
2)
char * const a = "I am good" ;
Now here you cannot do any thing no modification allowed.
Try doing a[0] = 'Y';
it fails.
Try doing a = "You are good";
It fails too
Error is You cannot assign to a variable which is a constant.
So a is a variable which is a pointer to character and is
constant.
or a is a constant pointer to character.
3)
char const * a = const char *a
As in both the case a is a pointer to character which is
constant and a can point to different string but this string
itself cannot be modified. This is the default behavior of
char * a.

What are the advantages of using linked list for tree construction?
player is good if the following conditions are satisfied: He is either from “India”, “Japan” or “Korea” He has a minimum of 3 years of experience He has won at least 3 major tournaments, and one of them must be "World Championship Tournament". He must know more than 10 techniques. (but see next question) If he knows less than 10 techniques, then he must be a world champion. His name contains at least 3 words. For example "Sachin Tendulkar" will not meet this condition. Write a method: boolean isGoodPlayer(String name, String country, int yearsExperience, String[] majorTournamentsWon, String[] techniques, boolean isWorldChampion) name country yearsExperience majorTournamentsWon techniques isWorldChampion
