Again, you are not initialising the pointer, so it contains an arbitrary 
value when you run the program. You are lucky that it gives you a result at 
all, instead of just plain crashing.

You do not seem to have much experience with C. Is there any reason why you 
want to use it? Or is this just for curiosity?
