Regarding const in C++ you need to keep in mind how it modifies pointer types:
const int* is a pointer-to-const-int, that is you can change what memory address the variable points to but you can't change the value of what is being pointed at.
int* const is a const-pointer-to-int, that is you can change the value of what is being pointed at but not what address the variable points to.
const int* const naturally is a const-pointer-to-const-int which prevents both changing the address being pointed to and the value of what is being pointed at.
My way of remembering this is that the const modifier modifies what is closest to the const. You also have references-to-const (for example: const Person& p) which is used when you want to avoid copying a large data structure into a parameter but also don't want that structure to be modified in the function.

As for two-dimensional arrays in C, basically you have one-dimensional arrays which are of type T*. Then you want a one-dimensional array of one-dimensional arrays, so you want T**. As for your specific example you want
float** A = (float**)malloc(4*sizeof(float*));because A is an array of pointers to float as I stated.[/code]

I would do something like:
do
{
cout << "Please enter the radius of the circle (radius must not be negative): " << endl;
cin >> radiousC;
}
while(radiousC<0);
Also you can't have cin input to endl (as endl is actually implemented as a function)

Evolve new chemicals to protect against temperature variance

The sandrats will evolve extremely primitive tool use

Alright, I think I'm going to throw in my hat for this one:
Name: Sandrat
Description: Basically a large rat (so omnivorous and about 40-50cm long) that burrows to avoid the harsh daylight and can act together against larger opponents/prey.
Traits: Burrowing, social animal
Habitat: Scrubland/desert

Is this good?

Evolve better chemical detection.

Improve mobility trough specialization of the outer cells in the colony

+1

Improve chemical synthesis capabilities.
