Help me please

Question

Why isn’t this code giving me the output of 10 5?

def swap(x, y):
x, y = y, x

x = 5
y = 10
swap(x, y)
print(x, y)

Answer 1

May be new values of x ,y in function are considered "local veriable" values thus out of func. They print global values of x,y 👍

Answer 2

You already know how to swap <x> and <y> as seen in the swap function

x, y = y, x

Then what's the point of making a swap function?

You can do

def swap():
global x, y
x, y = y, x

But even this still looks redundant since you know how Python swaps objects' data.

Answer 3

Always do dry run before compiling your code on ide I don't know python much more i tried this
def swap(x, y):
x, y = y, x
print(x,y)

x = 5
y = 10

swap(x, y)
print(x, y)

You have passed arguments as a value not as a reference that's why result is same.

I have done like this:
