What is the difference between char * const and const char *?

Question

What\'s the difference between:

char * const 

and

const char *

Answer 1

Two rules

1. If const is between char and *, it will affect the left one.
2. If const is not between char and *, it will affect the nearest one.

e.g.

1. char const *. This is a pointer points to a constant char.
2. char * const. This is a constant pointer points to a char.
