Difference between const char* p and char const* p [duplicate]

Answer 1

const char* p is a pointer to a const char.

char const* p is a pointer to a char const.

Since const char and char const is the same, it's the same.

However, consider:

char * const p is a const pointer to a (non-const) char. I.e. you can change the actual char, but not the pointer pointing to it.
