Programming in C, const qualifier

Question1: Explain what is const qualifier? Ans :  The const qualifier is used with a data type of  declaration to specify a constant value. Some examples of const qualifiers are: Const int COUNT=5; Const float PI=3.14; The same thing can also be achieved using #define  preprocessor as given below. #define COUNT 5 #define PI 3.14 In most of the situations there is no difference between  using define or const qualifier. The only difference is  define is a preprocessor directive that simply replaces a  symbol with a constant value throughout the program. The const qualifier declares a variable type and assigns  it a constant value. It has advantage at advance level of  programming in C language.
