Why?

To return objects the ``return`` statement is used.

Add:
return z
The string content seems to be a question. No `y` is not global here but
you modify the content of the object that's bound to the local name `y`.
Modifying an object is different from binding a name to a new object.
``y = ['uno', 'dos', 'tres']`` would not be visible outside the function.

Change to:
x = some_function(x, y)
