Python Functions and Variable Scope

Lecture 5 covers various Python programming concepts including local and global variables, keyword arguments, string formatting, list comprehension, higher order functions, lambda functions, 2D arrays, and file handling with JSON. Local variables are defined within functions and have a limited scope, while global variables are accessible throughout the program. The lecture also emphasizes the use of the global keyword to modify global variables within functions.

Local Variables

Definition: Variables declared inside a function are local to


that function.
Scope: Accessible only within the function where they are
defined.
Global Variables

Definition: Variables declared outside of any function or block


are global variables.
Scope: Accessible throughout the entire program, including
inside functions
Modifying Global Variables

To modify a global variable inside a function, the global keyword


must be used. Without it, Python will treat it as a local variable by
default.
