//POINTER TO CONSTANT vs CONSTANT POINTER

#include<iostream.h>
#include<conio.h>

//POINTER TO CONSTANT

void f1()
{
int i=10,j=20;
const int* pi=&i;
cout<<*pi<<endl;
//*pi = 200; ERROR : CANNOT MODIFY A CONST OBJECT IN f1()
pi=&j; // IT CAN POINT ANOTHER CONSTANT
cout<<*pi<<endl;
}

//CONSTANT POINTER

void f2()
{
int i=100,j;
int* const pi=&i;
cout<<*pi<<endl;
*pi = 200; // IT CAN ASSIGN ANOTHER VALUE AT THIS ADDRESS
cout<<*pi<<endl;
//pi=&j; ERROR : CANNOT MODIFY A CONST OBJECT IN f2()
}


void main()
{
clrscr();
f1();
f2();
getch();
}

Given only putchar (no sprintf, itoa, etc.) write a routine putlong that prints out an unsigned long in decimal. [ I gave the obvious solution of taking % 10 and / 10, which gives us the decimal value in reverse order. This requires an array since we need to print it out in the correct order. The interviewer wasn't too pleased and asked me to give a solution which didn't need the array ].
