Const correctness might sound like a buzzword, but it’s a powerful concept that can significantly improve the readability and maintainability of your C++ code. Imagine writing code where you can easily tell which parts are safe to modify and which are not.
This clarity not only helps you but also anyone else who might work with your code in the future. By enforcing const correctness, you can prevent accidental modifications of values that should remain unchanged.
This practice can lead to safer and more robust code, reducing bugs and making your intentions clearer. Let’s dive in!
