What is the difference between const and non-const references in C++?

In C++, a const reference cannot modify the object it refers to, while a non-const reference can.

Can you give me an example of each?

MagicBuddy

Sure! For a const reference: const int& ref = x; where x is an int. For a non-const reference: int& ref = y; where y is an int.

What happens if I try to modify a const reference?

If you try to modify a const reference, you'll get a compilation error, as it is read-only.

When should I use const references?

MagicBuddy
MagicBuddy

Use const references when you want to pass large objects without copying them, while ensuring they remain unchanged.
