How do I resolve variable conflicts in my code?

Variable conflicts often occur when two variables share the same name in a scope. Can you provide more details about your code?

I'm working in Python, and I have a function that uses a global variable and a local variable with the same name.

In Python, the local variable will take precedence. You can use the global keyword to modify the global variable inside the function. Would you like an example?

Yes, please! That would be helpful.

Sure! Here's an example:

x = 10  # global variable

def my_function():
    global x  # declare x as global
    x = 5  # modify global x
    print(x)

my_function()  # This will print 5
print(x)  # This will print 5 as well
