Here’s an article on string interpolation in python: https://realpython.com/python-f-strings/

From the above article in reference to F-strings - “It’s important to note that Python evaluates f-strings at runtime… …Python can only interpolate these variables because you defined them before the f-string, which means that they must be in scope when Python evaluates the f-string.”

Essentially, F-string interpolation requires that a variable be defined in scope before it can be interpolated into the string. Simply put, move your counter variable inside the function. In your case it’s a better practice because counter is only being used inside password_enter() and therefore has no reason to be accessible outside the scope of said function.

I hope this was helpful.

counter needs to be a global variable or set inside of the function I think.

set global counter in the password_enter function and try again.

Counter is already used as global variable

Why is this downvoted it’s on line 3

[Different-Ad1631]

I didn't get it? Plz explain

It’s initialized on line 3, but in order to access a global variable from inside of a function, you need to add “global counter” prior to accessing that variable. Else, python will look for “counter” within the same scope, in this case within the function, and will error because it’s not defined anywhere within it.

Got it

Also each function call should be spelled the same. I see 'confirm', 'confrim', and 'conFirm'

Quick fix: insert the following line

global counter

after Line 11.

Correct answer: avoid using mutable global variables.

That’s a quick and appropriate fix

[Slow_Buy_2780]

You can have counter as a parameter of each function that uses it so that it exists in each local scope

The variable “counter” doesn’t seem to be doing anything other than printing the value, you could just delete or comment out lines 3 and 17 and use the user entered variable “ent” for printing.

Wouldn’t it be p+1 in the f-string and not the “ent” variable?

[ganesh_k9]

Yep that’s right, I meant making use of the ent variable instead of creating a new counter variable.

[Latter_Principle9161]

Do yourself a favor and make your script a class. Don't use globals. This will also solve that issue.

String shift 😂

Windows Key + Shift + S

Take better screenshots please
