Re: [algogeeks] Pointer to a constant
@Mohit: If u're saying that in case 2 ptr is const then what is int *const ptr. I thought this is a constant pointer. Constant pointer is one which can't be made to point to any other address rit? How is *ptr++ coming into the way of constant pointer ?

Re: [algogeeks] Pointer to a constant
Actually the first statement i gave const int i=5; int *ptr=i is itself giving an error on gcc and a warning on borland. We have to modify it as const int *ptr=i otherwise it gives illegal pointer conversion error.

Re: [algogeeks] Pointer to a constant
@Raj, Sorry for the confusion yes, you are right that 1st one is giving warning/error though for 2nd case int i=5; const int *ptr=i; *ptr++; i am nt getting any error/warning (gcc) and i remains 5 but int i=5; const int *ptr=i; (*ptr)++; is giving error Mohit Ranjan On Tue, Jun 8, 2010 at 9:06 PM, Raj N rajn...@gmail.com wrote: Actually the first statement i gave const int i=5; int *ptr=i is itself giving an error on gcc and a warning on borland.

[algogeeks] Pointer to a constant
Can someone tell me the difference between 1) const int i=5; 2) int i=5; int *ptr=i; const int *ptr=i; In the first case i can be modified via ptr i.e *ptr++ is valid. In the second case *ptr++ is illegal. Why is that so? Aren't they same? -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups Algorithm Geeks group.
