As an exercise, think of four ways you can code a variable within Factor 1 or Factor 2 such that the value of that variable will change as a direct result of performing that opcode.

Bonus marks: Apart from reference parameters on procedure calls, how many ways are there that variables coded on the right-hand side of an assignment can change as a result of performing that expression?
