Const Array

Question

Can  i access array like this:

const int array [5]= {10,20,30,40,50};

int *x;

x=array+5;

*x=6;   // can  i assign  this value as x is pointing to some unknown location. and other array is constant.

x=array+2;

*x=2; // can i assign  if array is constant.

 

in both assignment any compiler error would be  there ????

Comments

gcc is allowing me to do that with this warning

warning: assignment discards 'const' qualifier from pointer target type [-Wdiscarded-qualifiers]

but not error. I printed the array and values were modified.

if we write like this

const int a=2;

a=5;

then the cmpiler gives error, not in const array.

Even in array it gives that error
Try modifying array[2] and it'll give error.
Point is, you can modify values using pointers of constants
