Python Local variables

Local variables:

• Defining a variable inside the function.
• Local variables can be accessed only from the same function in which it has defined.
• We access the local variable directly.

def test():
    a=10 #local
    print("Inside :",a)
    return

test()
print("Outside :",a) #error :

Arguments of a function:

• Variables used to store input of the function.
• Arguments are working like local variables.
• Arguments can access within that function only.

def test(a, b): #a,b are local
    print("Inside :",a)
    print("Inside :",b)
    return

test(10,20)
print("Outside :",a) #error
