I'm confused about the order of operations here. Could it be that it prints 10? I need to double-check how the multiplication works with pointers.

Wait, does the `*i = *i * *i;` mean it squares the value? If so, then it should print 4, right?
BR

I remember something similar where a pointer was used to change a variable's value. I think it might print 4 because of the multiplication.

I think the function modifies the value of `i`, but I'm not sure what the final output will be.
