Take a look first at:

For problems 1-4,

I could instead give you:


void foo(char *a)
{

}
void bar(char * const c)
{

} 
void fum(const char *b)
{

}
void fiddle(const char * const d)
{

}

I'd do a function call such as  
   foo(mascot);
   bar(hometown);

Which of the following, is legal?  Assume that any reference
to a appears in foo, reference to b appears in bar, etc.

[There are a few details, such as the assignments to things like
hometown, etc... those variables aren't in scope, but you get
the idea, I hope.]

Simple Rules for Type Expressions:

 & (address of) adds a star
 * (dereference) takes away a star [if there isn't one to take away => error!]

Heap vs. Stack vs. Error

Pretty much everything is on the stack unless:

  (1) you are following a pointer to something allocated with new (heap)
  (2) you are dereferencing something not a pointer (error)
