Python loop - help me understand -
i have python generate random code, in case, "lucy", , prints follows:
l lu luc lucy
i don't understand how works, can explain?
import sys mysterystring = sys.argv[1] print("~ testing mysterystring = {} ~".format(mysterystring)) #above code provided me charcount = "" mysterychar in mysterystring: charcount = charcount + mysterychar print(charcount)
why charcount initialized outside loop? why print characters way does?
the reason why charcount initialized outside of loop because of scope.
a variable defined in main part of body belongs "global" scope. means can accessed else throughout file.
but variable defined inside function/loop "local" function. means exists , accessible point @ defined until end of function.
when use assignment operator (=) inside function, default behavior create new local variable – unless variable same name defined in local scope.
so essentially, when declare inside of loop demonstrated below. re-initalizing variable = "" each time loops through why prints out 1 character @ time.
i.e.
"" + "l" reintialize charcount = "" "" + "u" etc
variable declared outside loop:
variable declared inside loop:
