C++ Modifier Types

Type Qualifiers in C++

Qualifier	Meaning
const	Objects of type const cannot be changed by your program during execution
volatile	The modifier volatile tells the compiler that a variable's value may be changed in ways not explicitly specified by the program.
restrict	A pointer qualified by restrict is initially the only means by which the object it points to can be accessed. Only C99 adds a new type qualifier called restrict.

ADVERTISEMENTS

unsigned int y;
