Question 82

Inside a function body, count is assigned without any global or nonlocal declaration. How does Python normally classify count in that function?

  1. It automatically updates a same-named global.
  2. It is local to the function by default.Correct answer
  3. Its scope is chosen after the function returns.
  4. It is local only when its value is mutable.

Explanation

Assignment makes count a local name for that function unless a relevant declaration changes the scope rule. Python does not decide between local and global dynamically according to which branch happens to execute.
