Arrays are passed by reference (address), while variables are passed by value to functions. We can see that func1 which receives an array as a parameter is able to change the original value of the array, while func2 does not.

Arrays can actually be modified by a function calls because it's address is passed by reference to the function that calls them while the same cannot be said for variable which is passed as a copy except you explicitly pass it with the reference operator.

the array above can be altered by the fun1 but the variable can't
