Yes it's true, that's the behavior I was referring to. My problem was
actually that I couldn't print a global variable inside a function
before I made an assignment to it; the error was something like
"Cannot istantiate a local variable before assigning it." and I didn't
understand why I had to assign locally a global variable which had
already been assigned globally. Anyway the keyword "global" solved my
problem.
