title: Where does const char* get the pointer to a memory address?
body: <p>This may be simple question, but why does a const char* not need a memory address to point to?</p>
  
  <p>Example:</p>
  
  <pre><code>const char* a = "Anthony";
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>and not:</p>
  
  <pre><code>const char *a = // Address to const char
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>like any other types do?</p>
