With unary operators, they are evaluated right to left, not left to right, so in your code, the ++ operation is done to itsSpeed before *. This causes the pointer to be incremented, rather than the value stored at the pointer's address, which is what you meant to do.

Simple fix:

(Toggle Plain Text)

++*itsSpeed;
