#include <stdio.h>
 
int main()
{
  int num1, num2, *ptr1, *ptr2, sum;
 
  printf("Enter the first number: ");
  scanf("%d", &num1);
 
  printf("Enter the Second number: ");
  scanf("%d", &num2);
 
  ptr1 = &num1;
  ptr2 = &num2;
 
  sum = *ptr1 + *ptr2;
 
  printf("\nSum of two numbers: %d", sum);
 
  return 0;
}

Output:

Enter the first number: 10
Enter the Second number: 20

Sum of two numbers: 30

#include <stdio.h>
 
//user-defined function
float addFunc(float *a, float *b)
{
  float sum;
 
  sum = *a + *b;
 
  return sum;
}
 
int main()
{
  float num1, num2, result;
 
  printf("Enter the first number: ");
  scanf("%f", &num1);
 
  printf("Enter the Second number: ");
  scanf("%f", &num2);
 
  result = addFunc(&num1, &num2);
 
  printf("Sum of the result: %f", result);
 
  return 0;
}

Output:

Enter the first number: 15.5
Enter the Second number: 20.5
Sum of the result: 36.000000
