What is the difference between the Constant pointer and pointer constant and explain it with an example?

Pointer to constant *ptr=10 statement is invalid in pointer to constant i.e assigning value is illegal ptr++ statement is valid in pointer to constant. pointer can be incremented and decremented, Pointer is pointing to constant data object. Declaration: const int *ptr; Constant pointers: *ptr= 10 is absolutely valid in constant pointers i.e assigning value is perfectly legal ptr+++ statement is invalid in constant pointers. pointer can not be incremented or decremented. Declaration; int *const ptr;

Is there a difference between an array and a pointer?

Array is a data type which can be represented as a[1],a[2],a[3].... Pointer is also a data type. The speciality of pointer is instead of address of the variable it will give the reference to the address of the variable. E.g. int *test Here test is a pointer variable. which will be the reference to the address == One dimensional arrays are constant pointers, you cannot change their values, eg: int a[10], *pa = &a[3]; p[0]= a[0]; // ok a[0]= p[0]; // ok p= a; // ok a= p; // INVALID for a is constant
