    Addition and subtraction using pointers

    I included <stdlib.h> to use abs() function. Here you can see my code snippet for your reference. If you have any idea feel free to comment.

    #include<stdio.h>
#include<stdlib.h>

void update(int *a,int *b) {
    //declaring temporary variable to store the values
    int c,d;
    c = *a +*b;  
    d = *b - *a;

    //assigning value to pointer variable
    *a = c;
    *b = d;
}

int main() {
    int a, b;
    int *pa = &a, *pb = &b;
    
    scanf("%d %d", &a, &b);

    //function calling
    update(pa, pb);
   
//using abs() to return positive integer according to requirement
 printf("%d\n%d", a, abs(b));

    return 0;
}
