Problem Statement

Write a C program to modify the value of a variable using a pointer.

Input Format

Two integers: initial value and new value to update via pointer.

Output Format

Print the updated variable value.

Constraints

Standard integer limits

Sample Input

10 20

Sample Output

20

Explanation

Access the variable's memory location using '*ptr = new_value' to change its content.

Starter Code

#include <stdio.h>

int main() {
    int num, new_val;
    if (scanf("%d %d", &num, &new_val) == 2) {
        int *ptr = &num;
        // Write your code here to modify value using pointer
    }
    return 0;
}

Limits

  • Time Limit: 1s
  • Memory Limit: 256MB

Intermediate

Embedded systems rely on efficient low-level programming to interact directly with hardware. In this course, you will learn how to write practical Embedded C programs used in real microcontroller-based systems. Rather than focusing only on theory, this course follows a practice-driven approach. Each lesson includes hands-on coding exercises that simulate real firmware development tasks used
