Q1: Demonstrate the use of a local variable
def display_number():
num = 10 # Local variable
print("Inside function:", num)
display_number()
try:
print("Outside function:", num)
except NameError as e:
print("Error:", e)
Inside function: 10
Error: name 'num' is not defined
Q2: Demonstrate the use of a global variable
x = 20 # Global variable
def show_global():
print("The value of x is", x)
show_global()
The value of x is 20
Q3: Differentiate between global and local variables
x = 100 # Global variable
def test_scope():
x = 50 # Local variable (shadows the global)
print("Inside function:", x)
test_scope()
print("Outside function:", x)
Inside function: 50
Outside function: 100
Q4: Modify a global variable inside a function
counter = 0 # Global variable
def increase():
global counter
counter += 1
print("Updated counter:", counter)
increase()
increase()
Updated counter: 1
Updated counter: 2
Q5: Use both global and local variables in a program
total = 0 # Global variable
def add_numbers(a, b):
global total
sum = a + b # Local variable
total += sum
print("Updated total:", total)
add_numbers(5, 10)
add_numbers(3, 7)
Updated total: 15
Updated total: 25
Q6: What will be the output and explanation
x = 25
def modify():
# This will throw an error because Python treats x as local,
# but it's used before it's assigned.
try:
x = x + 5
print("Inside:", x)
except UnboundLocalError as e:
print("Error:", e)
modify()
print("Outside:", x)
x = 25
def modify():
global x
x = x + 5
print("Inside:", x)
modify()
print("Outside:", x)
Error: cannot access local variable 'x' where it is not associated
with a value
Outside: 25
Inside: 30
Outside: 30
Q7: Function that reads a global variable but doesn't modify it
college = "XYZ College" # Global variable
def print_college():
print("College name is:", college)
print_college()
College name is: XYZ College
Q8: Function using both local and global variables in a calculation
base = 100 # Global variable
def calculate_bonus(score):
bonus = score * 10 # Local variable
return base + bonus
print("Total with bonus:", calculate_bonus(5))
print("Total with bonus:", calculate_bonus(8))
Total with bonus: 150
Total with bonus: 180
