Run this program

    int * Var;
    float Value;
    int IntVar;

    Value = 2.4;
    IntVar = 4;

    Var = malloc(4);
    
    *Var =  Value ;
   
    /* Why is it like this? - explain */

    if( 0 )
    printf("Value is %f \n", Value );
    printf("  Var is %f \n", Var );

    if( 1 )
    printf("Value is %f \n", Value );
    printf("  Var is %f \n", Var );

    *Var = IntVar;
