| Jul 23, 2016 at 10:47 | comment | added | Marcelo De Zen | Signaling the array as const is a good idea, for the other parameters const it's meaningless and just bloats the code. As for the the identifiers, I would argue that max_index is better than just max. A good rule of thumb (that do not work for every case) is to have a noun in the mix. | |

Asked a question on programmers about use of the const keyword. Please give your comments and suggest improvements.

Discussed the use of const in function parameters

So const should be used whenever I am passing pointers but not changing the contents. Correct?

I'll take care of the incorrect comment. About arr being const why? I used min and max but max is defined in C++ and the IDE that I use(Code:blocks) starts to highlight it as a keyword so I thought to change them. It has auto-completion so length of variables isn't a problem. Any particular reason why I should use static functions? Can you tell me what it is this called so I can read up a bit(like static for variables is storage class)? About exit status, is that a convention or what?
