Some C pointer fundamentals manage to fox even seasoned programmers.
For example, what is wrong with the following piece of code:
func() {
char *c;
c = "this is a string.";
*c = 'T';
printf("%s", c);
}
The code tries to capitalize the first letter of the string. It looks correct at first glance, but is not. It might even compile without any error, but will throw out an error when run.

Of course it will generate an error. Variable "c" is a pointer to the string and that pointer gets assigned to the address of a string constant. String constants aren't writable so you'll get an error when you try to modify it.
Actually, modifying a string constant is undefined behavior. There's a lot of platforms where that code works as expected.
Also, note why the string is a constant in this case? the string doesn't just belong to the pointer, but it might as well have been in use by some other variable - eg some compiler optimization might have resulted in the same string getting used by more than one pointer. as a result it is made a string constant and modifying it is an undefined behavior and wrong programming.
