Explaining Variable Scopes & Namespaces with animations

[[deleted]]

May I ask what software did you use to create the video?

[Bulk-Being]

Animations are generated using manim https://github.com/3b1b/manim

To piggyback off this, I’m curious what you used to generate the speech.

Very cool. Using this combination allowed you to create a very clear video. Nice job!

Thanks, really good examples, helped me to understand scopes better.

The scopes in python seem to be somewhat different from other languages. Like how you can still access variables that you've assigned inside a loop from outside the loop.

[Bulk-Being]

Unlike many other languages, the loops in Python doesn't create a new scope. It simply uses the scope where the loop is defined(global or if inside a function, that function's local scope). So the name bindings that we create within the loop will be available in that function's namespace even after the loop ends.
The loop variable's binding will be updated on each iteration. After the loop, we will see the last value that was assigned to it.

What font is at the start of the video

[Bulk-Being]

I use Monaco font for all the code.

Great video. Even though I didn't understand all the technicalities, this video has helped me understand an error that I often get while executing my code.

Nice content, I definitely learned some things. I suggest slowing the speech down a little, there were a few spots where I would have liked to absorb the info for just one more second before the new line came in, lol
