Please why is this code not working?

Question

def definex(a):
x=a
definex(2)
print(x)

Answer 1

The variable "x" is only accessible in the function definex() and cannot be used outside it, i.e. It has a local scope.
To use it outside the function, you will have to give it a global scope.

Corrected Code -
def definex(a):
global x
x = a
definex(2)
print(x)

Notice the second line, it declares a Global scope to the variable"x" . so we can use it anywhere

Answer 2

print within function or
return x and print(definex(2))
