  • Variables in python are the containers for storing data values.
  • It gets mapped to that instance, they are reference, or pointers, to an object in memory which means that whenever a variable is assigned to an instance.
  • Python is not statically typed, unlike other languages like C/C++/JAVA.
  • Scope of a variable is the location where we can find a variable and also access it if required.
  • In python there are four types of scopes they are, Local Scope, Global Scope, Enclosing Scope and Built-in Scope.

    •  

    • Global variables are the ones that are defined and declared outside, not specified to any function.
    • In current function a local scope refers to the local objects were available.
    • Global scope refers to the objects available throughout the code execution since their inception.
    • In program a module-level scope refers to the global objects of the current module accessible.
    • In program an outermost scope refers to all the built-in names callable and objects in this scope are searched last to find the name referenced.

    Sample Code : Global Scope

    # This function modifies global variable 's'
    def f():
        global s
        print(s)
        s = "Look for Wikitechy Python Section"
        print(s)
       
    # Global Scope
    s = "Python is great !"
    f()
    print(s)

    Output
