There are two way to define a character array constant:
1. const char* const OUT_STRING="hello world";
2.const string OUT_STRING="hello world";
which one is better? why?

usually const char* const OUT_STRING = "hello world" ; > why?
more efficient.
exception: you need to pass it often to functions which expect a const std::string&
