  • Question
  • What will be the output of the program?
    #include<stdio.h>
    
    int main()
    {
        const int x=5;
        const int *ptrx;
        ptrx = &x;
        *ptrx = 10;
        printf("%d\n", x);
        return 0;
    }
    


  • Options
  • A. 5
  • B. 10
  • C. Error
  • D. Garbage value

  • Correct Answer
  • Error 

    Explanation
    Step 1: const int x=5; The constant variable x is declared as an integer data type and initialized with value '5'.

    Step 2: const int *ptrx; The constant variable ptrx is declared as an integer pointer.

    Step 3: ptrx = &x; The address of the constant variable x is assigned to integer pointer variable ptrx.

    Step 4: *ptrx = 10; Here we are indirectly trying to change the value of the constant vaiable x. This will result in an error.

    To change the value of const variable x we have to use *(int *)&x = 10;
