You're right, I got confused. const is read as "the thing to the right of me is const". const * means const pointer, * const means pointer to const.

Vice versa. Const pointer:

    int *const p;

Pointer to const value:

    const int *p
    int const *p

>const is read as "the thing to the right of me is const"

const is one of storage classes and is read at its order, not just "to the right".

    Wow. I literally was staring at my test case when I wrote it and I _still_ got it wrong. I think I need to get some more sleep...
