[Type B] Working with Functions – Chapter 3 Sumita Arora

15. In the following code, which variables are in the same scope?

def func1():
    a = 1
    b = 2

def func2():
    c = 3
    d = 4

e = 5

Solution: Variables a, b, c, and d are in the same scope, while variable e is in a different scope.

• Variables in the Same Scope: a, b, c, d
• Variables in Different Scope: e

Explanation: In Python, variables defined within a function belong to the scope of that function, meaning they are accessible only within the function in which they are defined.
In this code, variables a, b, c, and d are defined within functions func1 and func2, so they are in the same scope. However, variable e is defined outside of any function, so it is in a different scope and can be accessed globally within the program.
