Const - Programming

Q1:

What will be the output of the program (in Turbo C)? 
#include<stdio.h>

int fun(int *f)
{
    *f = 10;
    return 0;
}
int main()
{
    const int arr[5] = {1, 2, 3, 4, 5};
    printf('Before modification arr[3] = %d', arr[3]);
    fun(&arr[3]);
    printf('\nAfter modification arr[3] = %d', arr[3]);
    return 0;
}

A Before modification arr[3] = 4
After modification arr[3] = 10

B Error: cannot convert parameter 1 from const int * to int *

C Error: Invalid parameter

D Before modification arr[3] = 4
After modification arr[3] = 4

ANS:A - Before modification arr[3] = 4
After modification arr[3] = 10

Step 1: const int arr[5] = {1, 2, 3, 4, 5}; The constant variable arr is declared as an integer array and initialized to arr[0] = 1, arr[1] = 2, arr[2] = 3, arr[3] = 4, arr[4] = 5 Step 2: printf('Before modification arr[3] = %d', arr[3]); It prints the value of arr[3] (ie. 4). Step 3: fun(&arr[3]); The memory location of the arr[3] is passed to fun() and arr[3] value is modified to 10. A const variable can be indirectly modified by a pointer. Step 4: printf('After modification arr[3] = %d', arr[3]); It prints the value of arr[3] (ie. 10). Hence the output of the program is Before modification arr[3] = 4 After modification arr[3] = 10
