Rewriting reference as pointers

[frzatchary]

So I have a homework problem that requires me to rewrite a function that uses reference variables as parameters into one that uses pointers as parameters instead. Here's the code:

int doSomething(int &x, int &y)
{
int temp = x;
x = y * 10;
y = tmep * 10;
return x + y;
}

Where do I begin? And what are the actual steps for converting them in other cases?

First step is to know how pointers work. Change the parameters to pointers and make the rest work.
