Python - Interview Questions
What are local variables and global variables in Python?
Global Variables :
Variables declared outside a function or in global space are called global variables. These variables can be accessed by any function in the program.
 
Local Variables :
Any variable declared inside a function is known as a local variable. This variable is present in the local space and not in the global space.
 
Example :
a=2
def add():
b=3
c=a+b
print(c)
add()
Output : 5
 
When you try to access the local variable outside the function add(), it will throw an error.
