(2) Activation records and what happens during a recursion.

PART II: FUNCTIONS:
===================

(1) Passing  by   values. Can get  tricky   when  handling  bulky data

(2) Passing by reference. Two types. Which one is preferred? There are two ways: one is a pseudo 
pass by reference (C) and the other is explicit pass by reference.
