How narrow are the scopes in Python?
Is each block (each level of indentation) a scope?
If it is, then I think it is very enough because the other cases can be
detected easier or it might not appear at all in a well-written program.
If it is not, then yes, it is a problem.
Can you please tell me how to write the following program in Python?
my $n = 1;
{
my $n = 2;
print "$n\n";
}
print "$n\n";
If this program if ran in Perl, it prints:
2
1
I have tried to write it, but I don't know how I can create that block because
it tells that there is an unexpected indent.
Thanks.
