After memory writing, C code not working with that data

Hi

I have  a simple C function,say  -

{int a;

a++;

b=a+10;

}

Through the scripting console, I am giving a new value to the memory location of a in each iteration of a for loop - and then I am debugging it and executing it.

The problem is - after the end of execution, I can see the value of a is the same as that written into the memory location ( I checked this through the Expression window). However, a++ and b=a+10; are not working with the data. b shows a value of 0 at the end. I tried including a breakpoint and giving a pause of 10 seconds after the memory was written into - but it had no effect. Can anybody please explain where I am going wrong?

This is a snippet of what I am doing while reading and writing from the C code -

var firstBP = debugSession.breakpoint.add("main.c", 5); //inserts breakpoint at  line "int a "
                        print("Breakpoint added");
             var a = debugSession.symbol.getAddress("a");
             if (!debugSession.target.isHalted())
                {
                       debugSession.target.halt();
                        }
            debugSession.memory.writeData(0,a,t[j], 32);
            insert_pause(10000);

            debugSession.target.restart();
            
            var secondBP = debugSession.breakpoint.add("main.c", 8); //inserts breakpoint AFTER the line b=a+10
            insert_pause(5000);
            var b = debugSession.symbol.getAddress("b");
            debugSession.target.restart();

               var result = debugSession.memory.readData(Memory.Page.PROGRAM,b, 32, false)
               debugSession.terminate();
