 * 7) The execution continues to the function header for GetAge.

 * 8) Step into one more time.

 * 9) Why did the address of age and value change?

+* Inside the function of GetAge, the int age is reestablished after already

+* being established at the start of the code to equal 0.However this time

+* age was defined to a specific number, so a default placeholder number was

+* asigned to age, which changes the stored value shown in the address.

 * 10) Step over the cout and cin statements.

 * 11) Verify the value entered is stored properly in age.

 * 12) Step into until the flow returns to main.

 * 13) Step over one more time.

 * 14) Why didn't the value entered get transferred back to main?

+* The value entered wasn't reasigned to the age in main, it was just established

+* in the age in GetAge, by adding age = before the GetAge function, it assigns

+* the age in main to the age returned from the GetAge function.

 * 15) Stop debugging and fix the error.

 * 16) Run to Breakpoint 1.

 * 17) Step over the function call to GetAge.

 * 5) Why is age greyed out in your watch window?

+* Age is greyed out in my watch window because the function, even though it

+* calls for age, is expecting a years int. So by changing years to age,

+* it removes the grey and calculates properly.

 * 4) Step into the PrintResults function.

 * 5) Age is 7300? Not even Ralph is that old.

 * 6) Why did the values for both variables change?

+* The values changed because then the function is called in main, it gives

+* age and days in that order, but when the function recieves them, it

+* expects them to be in order of days and then age. To fix this you can

+* either swap the sent values or the expected values. For my fix, I

+* will swap the expected variables.
