This code defines a variable `myName` in the global scope,...
This code defines a variable myName
in the global scope, a function say_your_name
, and then calls the function followed by attempting to print yourName
.
Here's what the code does:
-
myName = "Jill"
: This is a global variable, accessible anywhere in the script. -
def say_your_name()
: A function is defined. Inside the function:yourName = "Bob"
assigns the local variableyourName
with the value"Bob"
.print(yourName)
prints the value of the local variableyourName
.print(myName)
prints the value of the global variablemyName
, which is"Jill"
.- Finally, the function returns (implicitly returning
None
since no value is specified).
-
say_your_name()
: This calls thesay_your_name
function, which:- Prints
"Bob"
(value ofyourName
from the local scope of the function). - Prints
"Jill"
(value ofmyName
from the global scope).
- Prints
-
print(yourName)
: This will cause a scope issue becauseyourName
is a local variable defined inside thesay_your_name
function. Once the function execution is complete,yourName
goes out of scope and is no longer accessible, so trying to referenceyourName
outside the function will result in aNameError
.
Conclusion:
The problematic line is:
print(yourName)
This line will fail because yourName
is not defined in the global scope, leading to a NameError
.
