Yes u can modify constants...

Theory:
const int z = 420; // z is constant
&z (address of constant)
z (value of constant)

imp:
*(int*)((char*)&(*((char*)&z+1))-1) is
a unity/identity pointer operation resulting in z
That is:-
printf("%d | %d",*(int*)((char*)&(*((char*)&z+1))-1),z);
OUTPUT: 420 | 420

code:

const int z = 420;

printf("%d | %d\n",*(int*)((char*)&(*((char*)&z+1))-1),z);
//o-p 420 | 420


*((char *)&z+1) = 21; //corrupting the constant


printf("%d | %d",*(int*)((char*)&(*((char*)&z+1))-1),z);
//o-p 5540 | 420

___
The 2 similar printf's(check they are same)
o/p different values for same "z"
which is a constant!
thus the constant was corrupted!

What does %p mean?

Write the program with at least two functions to solve the following problem. The members of the board of a small university are considering voting for a pay increase for their 10 faculty members. They are considering a pay increase of 8%. Write a program that will prompt for and accept the current salary for each of the faculty members, then calculate and display their individual pay increases. At the end of the program, print the total faculty payroll before and after the pay increase, and the total pay increase involved.
