Exercise: Update Through a Pointer

The recorded stock is seven; four parts have arrived. Store &stock in your pointer and add the new parts through *pointer. That updates the existing variable, which is what the final print should read.

Your Task

  1. Create an int * that points to the supplied stock; use the pointer to add 4 to the original integer and print Stock: 11 followed by a newline. Do not change stock directly or print a hard-coded 11.
Hint 1
1 / 1
HINT 1

Initialize the pointer with &stock, then use *pointer += 4 to change stock.
