Hi all, Going through the tutorial brought up a question. Consider the functions:
def f(a, L=[]): L.append(a) return L print f(3) print f(9) print f(7) def f1(i = 0): i = i + 1 print i f1() f1() f1() f1() Since the f accumulates the values in L, I was expecting to see i printing 1,2,3,4 but this doesn't happen. Can someone please explain why and what is going on beneath the veil? Cheers, -- Paulo Jorge Matos - pocmatos @ gmail.com -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
