Python Coding Challange - Question with Answer (01010825)

 

Step-by-step Breakdown:

1. Function Definition:

   
   def status():
       print(flag)

   • This defines a function named status().

   • Inside the function, print(flag) is written, but flag is not yet defined inside the function — so Python will look for it outside the function (i.e., in the global scope) when the function runs.

2. Variable Assignment:

   
   flag = True

   • A global variable flag is assigned the value True.

3. Function Call:

   
   status()

   • Now the function status() is called.

   • Inside the function, print(flag) executes.

   • Python looks for flag:

     • Not found in local scope (inside status()).

     • Found in global scope: flag = True.

✅ Final Output:

True

 In Short:

Even though flag is used inside a function, it's accessed from the global scope because it's not redefined inside the function.
