Thread: changing the value pointed to by a pointer

Code:

#include <stdio.h>

void alphabet(char *);

int main(void) {
    alphabet("a");
    
    system("PAUSE");
    return 0;
}

void alphabet(char *p) {
    if(*p <= 'z') {
        putchar(*p);
        (*p)++;
        alphabet(p);
    }
}

Can someone tell me why, this won't work. No messages when compiled.

I this, its because you can't change a string from the program's string table if that makes any sense.
