Answer to Question #237367 in Python for SAUL

Question

Create a function with a local variable. Show what happens when you try to use that variable outside the function. Explain the results.

Answer 1

def func():
    name="John" #local variable
    print("Hello "+name)
func()


print(name) #this line causes an error since the variable name is defined locally in the function func 
#and therefore it cannot be used outside the function
