main's a variable is stored at address 0xaa00
main's b variable is stored at address 0xbb00
main's c variable is stored at address 0xcc00
main's d variable is stored at address 0xdd00

int parameterMystery4(int& a, int* b, int c) {
    a--;
    c = c * 2;
    cout << c << " " << a << " " << *b << endl;
    (*b)++;
    return a + c;
}

int main() {
    int a = 2;
    int b = 5;
    int c = -3;
    int d;

    parameterMystery4(a, &b, c);
    d = parameterMystery4(c, &a, b);
    parameterMystery4(b, &d, a);

    cout << a << " " << b << " " << c << " " << d << endl;

    return 0;
}
