differentiate between
const char *a;
char *const a; and
char const *a;

Answer Posted / 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.

Sir,please help me out with the code of this question. Write an interactive C program that will encode or decode multiple lines of text. Store the encoded text within a data file, so that it can be retrieved and decoded at any time. The program should include the following features: (a) Enter text from the keyboard, encode the text and store the encoded text in a data file. (b) Retrieve the encoded text and display it in its encoded form. (c) Retrieve the encoded text, decode it and then display the decoded text. (d) End the computation.
