The way I understand Constants Only the compi.lier "Knows" about it. The end program doesn't. In this sence, Constants aren't even data.

To: c-prog@yahoogroups.com Date: Tuesday, September 30, 2008, 5:03 AM Hi Friends, One simple doubt: const int a = 10; // global my_function( ) { const int b = 20; // local } Will both 'a' and 'b' be stored in data segment? If yes: I thought Data segment is having both read and write access. Will it conflict with the constantness of variable 'a' and 'b'? Thanks. Unlimited freedom, unlimited storage.
