Actually char a[ ]="string" in this scenario string constant is stored in read-only memory section and also stack section.in this case you can modify the string constant.that modifications are happened in stack section .so here
*a ++ men's
1 ) a is pointing to base address of string constant .
2 ) *a men's inside content that is 's'.
3 ) *a ++ men's incrementing the asci value of 's'. After that you can print this array like
Printf("%s",a);
O/P : ttring.
Coming to the *p ="literal" this scenario
1 ) *p is stored in stack section why because it is auto variable.
2 ) "literal" this string constant is stored in read-only memory section.
3 ) P is pointing to string constant Base addres
Here *p++ men's you are training to change read only memory section contact. so it is an error why because
You can't modified the read-only memory content.
Main difference is using arrays string constant is stored in both stack and read-only memory section.
Using pointers string constant is stored in read-only memory section only .
Thank you.
