WAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!!!!
ME FOOOOOOOOOOOOL!!!
It is a serious TYPO!!!!
I thought 456, and I wrote 123!
Stupid, fool, idiot...

I'll correct it:

If I implemented this, this is how I would do it:

#include

main()
{
   int x, *ptr_int;

   x = 123; /* Given x = 123 */
   ptr_int = &x; /* and ptr_int =&x */
   *ptr_int = 456; /* after that *ptr_int = 456 has been executed */
   printf("%d",x); /* What is the value of x? */
   /* ***CORRECTED***: THE ANSWER IS: 456 */
}

Sorry, and thanks.
It was a typo. My brain sometimes is out %)
