@oppilas char *ptr="hello" in this case the string becomes constant but not the ptr, you can do this. char *ptr="hello"; char arr[]="hi"; ptr[0]="B"; //not work ptr=arr; //work arr[0]="H"; //work ptr[0]="N"; //work
Only string "Hello" becomes constant, it cant be changed. Read - const char *ptr , char const *ptr, char * const ptr for more details. I think you now got it.
