     Calling a function does not mean that this function passively 
provides code to the caller. What happens  is (simplified) the program 
counter (the address from which instructions are fetched) jumps to the 
called function, and, when the function has finished execution 
(encountering the return instruction, returns to the caller, just one 
instruction after the initial jump.
