const. pointer or pointer to const. char

[saneha]

Dear sir, i m confused about return type of function in example at page 122. It is written that getter function is returning constant pointer to data memeber ptr. Syntex is "const char *GetString()const."

I m narating this syntex as "GetString function is returning a pointer to constant character" If it is returning a constant pointer then i think syntex should be like "char const *GetSting()const".Please help me what is correct version. Thanks

This syntax “const char * GetString () const” is correct and it returns a constant character pointer, while “char const * GetString () const” is incorrect, the correct syntax is “char *const GetString () const”, that returns a constant pointer to character.
