"c" is assigned the return value of function1(). The argument for
function1() is "a" whose value is 3. The function definition
increments the parameter (to 4) and returns it.

Hence, "c" is assigned 4. 

That is, the parameter is passed-by-value. Hence, the argument is not
affected by the updated value of the parameter. Yet, the function's
return value is based on the updated value of the parameter.
