Hi, 

Could someone help me out here.

example:

const char *name1 = "John";    // Value cannot be changed

Is the above the same as?:
   const char something = "John";
   char *name1;
   name1 = &something;

What would be the expansion of the following?  
 char *const name2 = "John";    // Pointer cannot be changed

Thank you.
Please remove "dontspam" from my email.
