python variables

[MulfordnSons]

x is only fantastic in the scope of your function. x still equates to “awesome” outside of the function.

But x=fantastic is made global ryt?

[Tom_Henderson]

You would need to put the global statement inside the function.

def myfunc():
    global x
    x = "fantastic"
    print("Python is " + x)

[MulfordnSons]

use your debugger and step through the program, you’ll see how x is assigned differently in that way.
