Answer / samrat

You can modify the const variable in C by using pointers.

#include <stdio.h>

int main()
{
const int val = 20;
printf("Value is: %d\n", val);
int *ptr =(int*)&val;
*ptr = 2000;
printf("Value is: %d\n", val);
return 0;
}

Output

Value is: 20
Value is: 2000

Answer / vignesh

@Ramya
const value cannot be changed...you declared it wrong,

int *ptr = &x;

is not correct.It should be,

int ptr = &x;

also,according to your program only the *ptr value is 20 and
not the value of x
