Can anyone explain this error in c

Which of the line gives an error in the below code snippet and why?? #include<stdio.h> main() { const char* foo = "hi"; //line1 foo ="hello"; //line2 foo[0]=1; //line3 }

Akshay Jain You declared foo as pointing to a const char, so you can't change it. And you are assigning value to const char which is an predefined read only memory so that's why line 3 containing error second error which rises from this is integer to character assignment which may leads to problem so the line 3 is which contains error and sane instance in line 2 where only pointer is pointing to hello so it will print hello so only line 3 which contains error

Akshay Jain yeah the error is in 3 line that's an typo look answer 2 line is pointer is pointing to other string and line is assigning the constant read only memory location which is cause of error

GAWEN STEASY Thanks for the answer but on compiling the error occurs only in third line not in second one. This is a bit confusing then!
