Scope and Namespace

Scope and Namespace\n\nPython follows the LEGB rule to resolve names: Local → Enclosing → Global → Built‑in. Understanding this helps you avoid accidentally shadowing variables.\n\npython\ncount = 0 # Global\n\ndef outer():\n count = 1 # Enclosing\n def inner():\n count = 2 # Local\n print('inner count:', count)\n inner()\n print('outer count:', count)\n\nouter()\nprint('global count:', count)\n\n\nRunning the script prints 2, 1, and 0, demonstrating each scope in action.\n
