Usage Analysis of pointer and const qualifier

constThere are several common cases of delimiter and pointer combination.

(1) pointer to a constant

const int *a; int const *a;

These two methods are the same,aIs a pointconst intType pointer,aThe memory unit cannot be rewritten, so(*a)++Is not allowed,aCan be rewritten, soa++Yes.

The content pointed to by the pointer remains unchanged, but the pointer itself can be changed.

(2) constant pointer

int * const a;

aIs a pointintTypeconstPointer,*aYes,aRewriting is not allowed.

The pointer itself cannot be changed, but the content pointed to by the pointer can be changed.

(3) constant pointer to a constant

int const * const a;

aIs a pointconst intTypeconstPointer, so*aAndaCannot be rewritten.

The pointer itself and the content to which it points cannot be changed.

In the above three cases, if you want to learn c ++, You should have contact!
