Discussion Forum Cs 1101 Unit 2

The document discusses variable scopes in Python functions. It provides examples demonstrating that: 1) Variables defined inside a function have local scope and can only be accessed within the function. 2) Variables defined outside of functions have global scope and can be accessed inside or outside of functions. 3) If a variable with the same name is defined both globally and locally, the local variable takes precedence and the global variable cannot be accessed within the function.

Example 1

def say_something(something: str):   #something is the parameter


    print("crazy", something)

say_something("days")    #days is the argument


The output shows: crazy days

Example 2
def say_something(something: str):   #something is the parameter
    print("crazy", something)

#days is the argument


say_something("days")    #value
some = "friday"
say_something(some)      #variable
say_something(3+9)       #expression

the output shows:


crazy days
crazy friday
crazy 12

Example 3

def say_something():
    some = 50

print(some)

the output shows:


Exception has occurred: NameError
name 'some' is not defined

A variable declaration or alteration defined within a function or a local scope


cannot affect a variable of another function or a global scope.

Example 4

def say_something(some):
    some_inside = some
    return some_inside

say_something(6)
print(some)

the output shows:


Exception has occurred: NameError
name 'some' is not defined

If we try and access the parameter from outside of the function, we will receive a name error is
not defined as the parameter is not defined outside of this function.
Example 5

some = 6
print(some)
def something():
    some = 14
    print(some)
something()

the output shows:


6
14
