It is due to you not being able to do pointer manipulation properly. There is a link on stack overflow which explains this beautifully, I am sharing that. If still not able to understand, ask anytime.

@leoking i understood what the article was trying to say but what change should i make.

@leoking I even made the variable global but still the value is same. https://ide.codingblocks.com/s/268839

You are passing the pointer by value. pass it by reference . It is creating a new pointer but this new pointers address is different.
