What is the difference between char * const and const char *?

Question

What\'s the difference between:

char * const 

and

const char *

Answer 1

First one is a syntax error. Maybe you meant the difference between

const char * mychar

and

char * const mychar

In that case, the first one is a pointer to data that can't change, and the second one is a pointer that will always point to the same address.
