What is the difference between following two statements?

const std::vector<int> v1;

and

std::vector<int> const v2;

Is both statements equivalent?

    Yes. They are both equal. The best way to understand `const` is to read it as applying to the token left to it (Unless it's the leftmost token - in that case it applies to the immediate token to the right). – nakiya Jun 01 '17 at 07:03
