(BPM Question) What is the value of C?

Assuming no correlation is used, what are the values of 'C' a Process Container Element for the following two scenarios before the END of the Fourth call. Is it 4 or 1?

Scenario one:

START-> Receive Message A -> Add 1 to C -> END

Scenario two:

START-> LOOP -> Receive Message A -> Add 1 to C -> Until C <> C - > END

Thanks
