This code shows that making a * variable 'const' only tells the compiler to not * allow reassignment of the variable. The data is not * in a special location, it can still be altered. * * This code may cause compiler warning messages * but will compile and run. * * Author: M J Leslie. * Date: 03-Mar-97 * *******************************************************************/ main() { const int Men = 10; int *Women = &Men; *Women = 20; printf("There are %d men\n", Men); } /******************************************************************* * * Result. * * There are 20 men * *******************************************************************/
