Gain insights into the C++ keyword 'const,' its usage in various contexts, and implications when returning pointers and references. Learn about preventing accidental data changes.

How to use const in C++ by Sándor Dargo_468 x 60 copy.png

In this course, you will learn about the C++ keyword const and its behaviour under different usage conditions, including local, global and static contexts. This course will help you to understand const and its implications when you attempt to return pointers and references in C++. By the end of the course, you will have a solid grip on const and its usage in preventing any accidental change of data.

Secure Coding Practices in C++: A Deep Dive into const

## Explanation
Add this line to class `S`:
```cpp
void foo(const T&& t) = delete;
```
`foo(T&& t)` only prohibits `non-const` rvalues. It allows `const` rvalues. By deleting the implementation of `foo(const T&& t)`, we make sure that no rvalues are accepted.
