title: Read string constant to non constant variable in C
body: <pre><code>const char* string_b10_e2 = {"base 10"}; //base 10
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>Is there a way to read the value "base 10" in a non constant string variable?
  I know I CANNOT use a char*, like shown below</p>
  
  <pre><code>char * str,
  str =  string_b10_e2; //not allowed
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>as it breaks the promise of keeping the string constant.<br>
  But is there a way to read the value into a non-constant string?</p>
  
  <p>Thanks in advance.</p>
