// increase the dynamically allocated memory space of a word sized integer stored at the memory address represented by the symbol "x" by the integer 1 and terminate the instruction

Wait why is it dynamically allocated and why are you increasing the memory. Something is very wrong here

[–] Anders429@programming.dev 1 points 10 months ago (1 children)

Why the heck does it need to be dynamically allocated? Just put that puppy on the stack.

That's what it used to do.
But it was a bug, and the code has been fixed.
