4. Variable Scope

What is variable scope, and how did we manage without it before? This topic is essential for understanding the following subjects: Closures and Decorators. I assure you that this topic will be both enjoyable and practical. You will gain knowledge about local, nonlocal, and global variables.

5. Decorators

This section provides an in-depth exploration of Python decorators, a powerful feature that allows for the modification and enhancement of function behavior. Participants will learn how to write their own decorators, understand built-in decorators, and apply decorators in practical scenarios.

Nonlocal Variable

So, now we understand the difference between global and local variables and have learned about nested functions. The <strong>nonlocal</strong> variable is used in nested functions. Let's look at an example:


              123456789101112
            
def outer_function():
    outer_var = 10 

    def inner_function():
        nonlocal outer_var
        outer_var += 5
        print("Nonlocal variable in inner function:", outer_var)

    inner_function()
    print("Nonlocal variable in outer function:", outer_var)

outer_function()

Just as with global variables, we cannot change the variable created in outer_function inside inner_function without using the special keyword <strong>nonlocal</strong>.

The output is:
