Pointers

I haven't used C in forever, and I can't remember how to change the value of a variable in main using a function. I have something that looks like the following, but the values never change:

void function(int, int *, int *...);
void main()
{
    int a, b=0, c=0...;
    .
    .
    .
    function(a, &b, &c...);
}

void function(int aa, int *bb, int *cc...)
{
    if (aa==1)
        *bb++;
}

I put a printf under the if statement in function, and it prints, but the value of b never changes.

Be careful of operator precedence.

*b++ = *(b++), not (*b)++ which is what you want.

Thanks! Works just fine now.
