What is the difference between constant pointer and pointer
to a constant. Give examples.
Answer Posted / vignesh1988i
Constant pointer :
it is a pointer which points to the same memory location or
to same address and and whatever value the variable which is
pointed by the pointer holds.
for eg :
char a;
char const *p;
p=&a;
here var. a is a memory location having a address and that
variable contains some character data . but this pointer
p points to the same address ( a ) however the value in
var. a changes. finally, THE POINTER POINTED TO AN ADDRESS
IS A CONSTANT ,WHATEVER THE VALUE INSIDE THE VARIABLE MAY BE..
POINTER TO A CONSTANT :
this is a pointer which points to a constant variable
assigned to that pointer. and another pointer can also be
assigned to a same const. variable to point to.
for eg :
char Const a;
char *p,*q;
p=&a;
q=&a;

The program should include the following features: (a) Enter text from the keyboard, encode the text and store the encoded text in a data file. (b) Retrieve the encoded text and display it in its encoded form. (c) Retrieve the encoded text, decode it and then display the decoded text. (d) End the computation.
