//prototype says that change will not return a value and it expects
//to be given a pointer to an integer, i.e. the address of an integer


int main ()

	int var = 5;

	printf("Before change, var is %i \n", var);

	change(&var);
	//call the function change. Send it the address of var

	printf("After change, var is %i\n", var);

void change (int *p)
{
	*p *= 100;
	// what p points to becomes itself * 100

	printf("In change, *p is %i\n", *p);

	//change doesn't know anything about var
	//but it does know the place p points to
