wats the diference btwen constant pointer and pointer to a
constant.pls give examples.

Answer Posted / satyajit nayak

Hello All,
AS name suggested things are very simple.
1.Constant pointer
======================
it's nothing but a
(i)pointer which is pointing to a constant memory
location.
(ii)Once this pointer is assigned to point some location
we cann't make it to locate some other address location.
(iii)So constant pointer should be initialized at the
point of declaration only.

Example
=========
1. int main()
{
int * const my_ptr; //now my_ptr point to garbage
location
int var=10;
my_ptr=&var; //trying to modify my_ptr location.so
gives ERROR
}
so correct way of assignment is like
int main()
{
int var=10;
int * const my_ptr=&var;
printf("Addr=%x,val=%d",my_ptr,*my_ptr);
}

Is This Answer Correct ?    8 Yes 1 No
