How does scope work in Python?

Can you explain how scope works in Python?

Sure! In Python, scope refers to the visibility of variables. There are four types of scope: local, enclosing, global, and built-in.

What is the difference between local and global scope?

Local scope refers to variables defined within a function, while global scope refers to variables defined outside any function, accessible throughout the module.

Can you give an example of a variable in local scope?

Of course! Here's an example:

def my_function():
    x = 10  # x is in local scope
    print(x)
my_function()
print(x)  # This will raise an error because x is not accessible here.

What happens if I try to access a local variable outside its function?

If you try to access a local variable outside its function, you'll get a NameError because the variable is not defined in that scope.
