You are passing, to your functions, copies of variables. This is known as pass by value.
The functions are then working on those copies. When the function finishes, the copies are discarded. The original values, in main, are not touched.
If you need a function to change a value in the caller, pass by reference.

You're also ignoring what you pass to the function and creating whole new variables inside the functions. I don't know what you expected to happen. You need to stop, go back, and learn about functions before you go any further.
