Passing Pointers to function example :

Without Pointers :
cpp code
// This program is not intended to work correctly.  It is used
// demonstrate a common pitfall. See article for more details.

#include <stdio.h>

void AddFive(int Number)
{
Number = Number + 5;
}

void main()
{
int nMyNumber = 18;

printf("My original number is %d\n", nMyNumber);
AddFive(nMyNumber);
printf("My new number is %d\n", nMyNumber);
}


After adding pointers:
cpp code
#include <stdio.h>
void AddFive(int *Number)
{
*Number = *Number + 5;
}

void main()
{
int nMyNumber = 18;

printf("My original number is %d\n", nMyNumber);
AddFive(&nMyNumber);
printf("My new number is %d\n", nMyNumber);
}
