{
   //some code
}

now i want to pass value to the arguments for the above method

how to pass value to const char* X argument ?

and I am not understanding what is this ? is this pointer to char ?

const char* is indeed a point to a char . However, since strings are no more than a char array with a \\0 at the end, this is usually used to pass strings:

SomeFunction ("hello", "world", 12);
