differentiate between
const char *a;
char *const a; and
char const *a;

Answer Posted / shaista naaz

char * a = "Hello world";
1)
we cannot make a[i] = 'Some character'. This is not allowed.
but we can make
a = "Hi world";
that is char * a is basically a is a pointer which can point
to different address like when we say
a = "Hello world" and then we say a = "Hi world";
Here a is pointing to different address bit as I said before
If we try a[i] = 'some char' will give compiler error as
because here the string is constant not pointer so this is
const char * a = a is a pointer which is pointing to a
constant string. This is a default behaviour.
2)
char * const a = "I am good" ;
Now here you cannot do any thing no modification allowed.
Try doing a[0] = 'Y';
it fails.
Try doing a = "You are good";
It fails too
Error is You cannot assign to a variable which is a constant.
So a is a variable which is a pointer to character and is
constant.
or a is a constant pointer to character.
3)
char const * a = const char *a
As in both the case a is a pointer to character which is
constant and a can point to different string but this string
itself cannot be modified. This is the default behavior of
char * a.

You have given 2 array. You need to find whether they will create the same BST or not. For example: Array1:10 5 20 15 30 Array2:10 20 15 30 5 Result: True Array1:10 5 20 15 30 Array2:10 15 20 30 5 Result: False One Approach is Pretty Clear by creating BST O(nlogn) then checking two tree for identical O(N) overall O(nlogn) ..we need there exist O(N) Time & O(1) Space also without extra space .Algorithm ??
