Why is “static” needed for a global const char but not for a bool?

Question

Shared header.

I can do this:

const bool kActivatePlayground=false;

Works fine when included among multiple files.

I cannot do t

Answer 1

You can use a constant char array

const char kActivePlayground[] = "kiddiePool";

and kActivePlayground can also be used for assignment because it is a reference

const char* playground_text = kActivePlayground;
