And when to use which? Thanks.

What's the difference between (const MyClass &) and (MyClass const &)?

The first has 'const' first, the second has 'const' in the middle.

And when to use which? Thanks.

Use the one you prefer for readability.

For consistency some prefer the second version; for similarity to other
languages, or some other reason, some prefer the first version.
