Question

I did not understand this c++ code, please help me solve my confusion. 

In the first void function, we can enter a number for *input, but why in the second void function use *val to calculated the value I entered for the first void function. I think one is *input, and the second one is *val. 

#include <iostream>
using namespace std; 

void getNumber(int *input); 
void doubleValue(int *val); 

int main()
{
    int number; 
    getNumber(&number);
    doubleValue(&number); 
    
    cout<<"That value doubled is"<<number<<endl; 
    
    return 0;
}
void getNumber(int *input)
{
    cout<<"Enter an integer number:"; 
    cin>>*input; 
}
void doubleValue(int *val)
{
    *val *=2;
}
