What is the difference in these pointer assignements?

[tosiyep290]

Const int * my_pointer= h

int * const my_pointer = h




Diffrence??

[weaknessforcats]

Start with the pointer name and read backwards:

Const int* my_pointer etc...

my_pointer is a pointer (the *) to an int that is const.

Int * const my_pointer etc...

my_pointer.is a const pointer to an int that is not const.

To rephrase and add

const int * my_pointer= h

Contents of my_pointer i.e. elements of h are constant.

int * const my_pointer = h

my_pointer is constant, but not the contents.

If you happen to see const int * const my_pointer = h, both my_pointer and its contents are constant.

Use the variables in a program to understand better.
