Wow, this instructor is excellent. She does a great job of comparing what you are coding to simple concepts. I am always let down when an instrucor is really intelligent but makes the material unnecesarilly convoluded to the point you woulld only be able to understand it with advanced knowledge of the subject.

35:40 Scope Details. I think it's helpful to just look at it line by line. At first I got confused with x = x + 1 because it seemed to be inside def h(), but it's actually inside def g(x). def h() is such a simple block of code, that it threw me off at first. Assign x to 3 +1. print the string 'g:x=' , h() assigns x to 'abc', but returns None. So the string, abc, stays within that scope. Calling the function, h() ,returns None. return x is typed "after" print(x) in the order. Brain slowly absorbing. def g(x): def h(): x = 'abc' x = x + 1 print('g: x =', x) h() return x x = 3 z = g(x)

So when h returns, h in the scope of g still equals 'some code' and None is just sort of floating about in the scope of g. But when g returns, the value 4 is assigned to z because of the equals sign in the code. Is that right ? And if that's right, that means the None in the scope of g was inaccessible. Just trying to get it clear.

@as-br9ov

When you are trying to print it, func g is able to track down x into the global scope and get it. Yet, if you want to convert it into something, in other words if you want to implement process onto x, you have to define it first in whatever scope you are. Then you can modify it.

so, x = 3 def f(y): print(x) works but def g(y): x =+ 1 does not work. because it's not in the functions scope. so are only operations with a variable out of scope not possible? because in either case it has to know the value of x, whether you print it or whether you do something with it. so why does the second one not work?

E Dogg , Abstraction means that you need not look into the details of the function to use it( remember the projector example). The docstring provides the high level idea about the function which can help you in reusing the function in your code (without looking into the details of function's code)

Also, if this course is still confusing try another resource/course. There are many available. Another view can help. Also, if English is not your native language, try a course that is in your language. Best wishes on your studies!
