How do I use local scope in programming?

Local scope refers to variables that are defined within a function or block and can only be accessed there. Do you want an example?

Yes, please provide an example of local scope.

Sure! In Python, if you define a variable inside a function, it can't be accessed outside of that function. For instance:

def my_function():
    local_var = 10
    print(local_var)

my_function()  # This will print 10
print(local_var)  # This will raise an error

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

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