Can someone please explain this to me?

Question

Variable = 9

Def function(variable):
Variable += 1
Print (variable)

Function (7)

Print (variable)

Answer: 8 9

Answer 1

Thank you all!

Answer 2

the first ‘variable’ is global scope, the second one (in the function) is local. function(7) uses the local variable to make 8. print(variable) prints the global one, which is just 9

ps: if you wanted to combine them try this... and see

variable = 9

def function():
global variable
variable += 1
print(variable)

print(function())

print(variable)

Answer 3

variable = 9

def function(variable):
variable += 1 ## 7 + 1 = 8
print (variable , "local")

function (7)
print (variable, "global") ## 9
## Answer: 8 9
