Step 1: char mybuf[] = "India"; The variable mybuff is declared as an array of characters and initialized with string "India".

Step 2: char yourbuf[] = "BIX"; The variable yourbuf is declared as an array of characters and initialized with string "BIX".

Step 3: char const *ptr = mybuf; Here, ptr is a constant pointer, which points at a char.

The value at which ptr it points is a constant; it will be an error to modify the pointed character; There will not be any error to modify the pointer itself.

Step 4: *ptr = 'a'; Here, we are changing the value of ptr, this will result in the error "cannot modify a const object".
