#include<stdio.h>

int main() {
  int *p1, *p2;
  int num1, num2, sum;

  printf("Pointer Example Program : Add Two Numbers \n");

  printf("\nEnter Two Numbers for Sum : \n");
  scanf("%d %d", &num1, &num2);

  p1 = &num1;
  p2 = &num2;

  sum = *p1 + *p2;

  printf("Sum of Two Numbers : %d", sum);
  return 0;
}

Sample Output:

Pointer Example Program : Add Two Numbers

Enter Two Numbers for Sum :

15
Sum of Two Numbers : 25

How It Works

This C program demonstrates Simple Program for Add Two Numbers using Pointer. It first reads the required values as input, then performs the core operation step by step, and finally prints the output shown in the Sample Output above.

1. Declare the variables that hold the program’s data.
2. Read the input values that the program will work with.
3. Print the final result to the console so you can compare it with the sample output.

Try changing the input values and re-running the program to see how the output changes — this is the fastest way to understand how the logic behaves.
