Answer 1

The variable b has overwritten the a, because it was declared in the function last.

Answer 2

you are passing the same variable reference to both arguments, so when you assign first a to 10 and second b to 6, you refer to same emplacement, so later value remain ^^

by same way, if you output value of c, you'll get 12 and not 16 ;)

Answer 3

Thank you very much :) ++
