Float confusion

[jag4205]

Are the following statements valid? Why?

float f = 10.0;

const float *pf = &f;

f++;

(*pf)++;

Just try to compile them; the compiler will tell you.

I tried and I get an error. I want to know why though

the last statement ie

(*pf)++;

will not do 'cuz its a constant value and constants cannot be changed.
