Differentiate between a constant pointer and pointer to a
constant?

• Constant Pointers
  constant pointer is a pointer that cannot change the address its holding. In other words, we can say that once a constant pointer points to a variable then it cannot point to any other variable.
  example declaration:
  int * const ptr;
  
  Pointer to Constant
  These type of pointers can change the address they point to but cannot change the value kept at those address.
  example of definition could be :
  const int* ptr;

• if u imagine precisely ..both will look same ..see in the case f the first it cant point to others means it cant change the value of that location (in perspective f pointer)..in the 2nd case u cant change the value but can point to others but whaTS THE BENEFIT If it points ,,because pointing other means changing the value into which it points
