0
just as max is entered:
0
just before max is returned:

right after max is returned
0
Work Step by Step
right before: 0 is the value max is set to
as soon as its called: no statement that would change the value of max was executed
before it returns: value2 which is 2 is greater so max is set to 2
after it returns: the value of max has changed only inside the function getMax
