Can you modify the value of a const object through a const pointer?

  1. Yes, always

  2. No

  3. Yes, using type casting

  4. Yes, if you define the pointer in a header file

The correct answer is: No

Const objects are defined to not be modified, regardless of whether a pointer to the const object exists. Regardless of type casting or where the pointer is defined, a const object cannot be modified through a const pointer. This is a key feature of const objects and pointers and maintaining this rule ensures the immutability of a const object.
