C program for the addition of two numbers using pointers. In the program, we have two integer variables x and y and two pointer variables p and q. We assign the addresses of x and y to p and q respectively and then assign the sum of x and y to the variable sum. Remember '&' is the address of operator and '*' is value at the address operator.
C program
int main()
{
int first, second, *p, *q, sum;
printf("Enter two integers to add\n");
scanf("%d%d", &first, &second);
p = &first;
q = &second;
sum = *p + *q;
printf("Sum of the numbers = %d\n", sum);
return 0;
}
