Hello,

What does "double g() const;" line in the following code mean? Is it
different from the next line "double g();"? This is an example from a
book called "Scientific and Engineering C++:
   An Introduction with Advanced Techniques and Examples". I have tried
to compile it under DJGPP and it passed. I don't understand why "const"
can appear after "g()"?


class B {
    double g() const;
    double g();
    double g(int);
    void h();
};

Thank you for your great help!
