What went wrong

 In python, using global will make global variables available to this function. At the same time, accessing variables within a function will be done locally first and then globally.

 In nested functions, using global will produce unreasonable behavior.

 Up code:

In [96]: def x():
b = 12
def y():
global a,b
a = 1
b = 2
y()
print "b =",b
....: 
In [97]: a = 111
In [98]: del b
In [99]: x()
b = 12
In [100]: a
Out[100]: 1
In [101]: b
Out[101]: 2
Copy after login

 In function x(), global is not used, and b at this time uses local. So print will print local b

 Why is 12 printed? And how to explain that b in In[101] is 2?

 Y(), the global used did not import b = 12 of x().

 In function y(), the statement global a,b expands a and b to global. Therefore, at the highest level, even if there is no b (In[98]), b (In[101]) will be generated.

 That is to say, global a,b will consider a and b to be the outermost variables.

Try again:

In [102]: def x():
b = 12
def y():
global a,b
a = 1
y() 
print "b =",b
.....: 
In [103]: a = 111
In [104]: del b
In [105]: x()
b = 12
In [106]: a
Out[106]: 1
In [107]: b
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
NameError Traceback (most recent call last)
<ipython-input-107-3b5d5c371295> in <module>()
----> 1 b
NameError: name 'b' is not defined
Copy after login

An error was reported! If there is no assignment after y() global b, there will be no b at the top level. This shows that global only introduces names and does not perform operations such as assignment.

 Global does not care whether the variable exists or not, it only imports the name, and operations on the name will be reflected in the ‘top-level namespace’.

Come again:

In [109]: a = 111
In [110]: del b
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
NameError Traceback (most recent call last)
<ipython-input-110-745f2abe7045> in <module>()
----> 1 del b
NameError: name 'b' is not defined
In [111]: def x():
b = 12
def y():
global a,b
a = 1
print b
y()
print "b =",b
.....: 
In [112]: x()
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
NameError Traceback (most recent call last)
<ipython-input-112-7354d77c61ac> in <module>()
----> 1 x()
<ipython-input-111-c05fc67a1e82> in x()
5 a = 1
6 print b
----> 7 y()
8 print "b =",b
9 
<ipython-input-111-c05fc67a1e82> in y()
4 global a,b
5 a = 1
----> 6 print b
7 y()
8 print "b =",b
NameError: global name 'b' is not defined
Copy after login

 This confirms that the global of inner layer y() will not import things of x().

 So, how does the inner function use the correct variables of the outer function?

Solve the problem of inner function parameter passing

1.

 First of all, if you just get the value, you don’t need to do any processing.

In [119]: def x():
.....: a = 12
.....: def y():
.....: print a
.....: y()
.....: 
In [120]: x()
12
In [121]: 
Copy after login

 In y(), once a is assigned a value, a immediately becomes an internal variable.

In [121]: def x():
.....: a = 12
.....: def y():
.....: print "before a =",a
.....: a = 1
.....: print "then a =",a
.....: y()
.....: 
In [122]: x()
before a =---------------------------------------------------------------------------
UnboundLocalError Traceback (most recent call last)
<ipython-input-122-7354d77c61ac> in <module>()
----> 1 x()
<ipython-input-121-d8fbc0dba399> in x()
5 a = 1
6 print "then a =",a
----> 7 y()
8 
<ipython-input-121-d8fbc0dba399> in y()
2 a = 12
3 def y():
----> 4 print "before a =",a
5 a = 1
6 print "then a =",a
UnboundLocalError: local variable 'a' referenced before assignment
Copy after login

  Once a is assigned a value somewhere in the function y(), python will think that a does not exist before the assignment.

 At the same time, I found that python2’s print will output one by one. In view of this, I tried it in python3 again and found that it was output together. But this is not the focus of this article, so I’ll fold it.

In [7]: def x():
a = 1
def y():
print("before a=",a)
a = 10
print("then a=",a)
y()
...: 
In [8]: x()
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
UnboundLocalError Traceback (most recent call last)
<ipython-input-8-7354d77c61ac> in <module>()
----> 1 x()
<ipython-input-7-6e01e7317b24> in x()
a = 10
print("then a=",a)
----> 7 y()
<ipython-input-7-6e01e7317b24> in y()
a = 1
def y():
----> 4 print("before a=",a)
a = 10
print("then a=",a)
UnboundLocalError: local variable 'a' referenced before assignment
Copy after login

At the same time, I found that the python code will be scanned before running, instead of simply executing it line by line.

 At the same time, it was found that UnboundLocalError was returned instead of NameError. Note 'unbound', which is the official concept. To describe it as 'unbound': global will bind the top-level variable name to the local variable name and change at the same time, which is a 'reference'; when python detects a = 1, it realizes that a is local, so when a 'points to An object' (because Python variables are all references), before, calling a was an illegal behavior, but this behavior is different from NameError and is defined as unbound local.

  二、

 Use variable variables, such as list, dict

In [127]: def x():
.....: l = ["in msg"]
.....: def y():
.....: msg = l[0]
.....: print "msg =",msg
.....: l[:] = ["out msg"]
.....: y()
.....: print l[0]
.....: 
In [128]: x()
msg = in msg
out msg
Copy after login

No errors reported, perfect!

 Pay attention to the statement l[:] = ["out msg"] and use slice assignment, otherwise,

In [129]: def x():
l = ["in msg"]
def y():
msg = l[0]
print "msg =",msg
l = ["out msg"]
y()
print l[0]
.....: 
In [130]: x()
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
UnboundLocalError Traceback (most recent call last)
<ipython-input-130-7354d77c61ac> in <module>()
----> 1 x()
<ipython-input-129-d44e750e285f> in x()
5 print "msg =",msg
6 l = ["out msg"]
----> 7 y()
8 print l[0]
9 
<ipython-input-129-d44e750e285f> in y()
2 l = ["in msg"]
3 def y():
----> 4 msg = l[0]
5 print "msg =",msg
6 l = ["out msg"]
UnboundLocalError: local variable 'l' referenced before assignment
Copy after login

An UnboundLocalError occurs again, because the sixth line of code assigns a new list to l.

 Three,

 Use parameter passing.

In [136]: def x():
.....: a, b = 1, 2
.....: def y(a = a, b = b):
.....: a, b = 3, 4
.....: return a, b
.....: a, b = y()
.....: print a, b
.....: 
In [137]: x()
3 4
Copy after login

Be careful not to put variable objects such as lists on the default parameters.

How does PS feathering control the softness of the transition? How does PS feathering control the softness of the transition? Apr 06, 2025 pm 07:33 PM

The key to feather control is to understand its gradual nature. PS itself does not provide the option to directly control the gradient curve, but you can flexibly adjust the radius and gradient softness by multiple feathering, matching masks, and fine selections to achieve a natural transition effect.

Do mysql need to pay Do mysql need to pay Apr 08, 2025 pm 05:36 PM

MySQL has a free community version and a paid enterprise version. The community version can be used and modified for free, but the support is limited and is suitable for applications with low stability requirements and strong technical capabilities. The Enterprise Edition provides comprehensive commercial support for applications that require a stable, reliable, high-performance database and willing to pay for support. Factors considered when choosing a version include application criticality, budgeting, and technical skills. There is no perfect option, only the most suitable option, and you need to choose carefully according to the specific situation.

How to set up PS feathering? How to set up PS feathering? Apr 06, 2025 pm 07:36 PM

PS feathering is an image edge blur effect, which is achieved by weighted average of pixels in the edge area. Setting the feather radius can control the degree of blur, and the larger the value, the more blurred it is. Flexible adjustment of the radius can optimize the effect according to images and needs. For example, using a smaller radius to maintain details when processing character photos, and using a larger radius to create a hazy feeling when processing art works. However, it should be noted that too large the radius can easily lose edge details, and too small the effect will not be obvious. The feathering effect is affected by the image resolution and needs to be adjusted according to image understanding and effect grasp.

MySQL can't be installed after downloading MySQL can't be installed after downloading Apr 08, 2025 am 11:24 AM

The main reasons for MySQL installation failure are: 1. Permission issues, you need to run as an administrator or use the sudo command; 2. Dependencies are missing, and you need to install relevant development packages; 3. Port conflicts, you need to close the program that occupies port 3306 or modify the configuration file; 4. The installation package is corrupt, you need to download and verify the integrity; 5. The environment variable is incorrectly configured, and the environment variables must be correctly configured according to the operating system. Solve these problems and carefully check each step to successfully install MySQL.

How to optimize database performance after mysql installation How to optimize database performance after mysql installation Apr 08, 2025 am 11:36 AM

MySQL performance optimization needs to start from three aspects: installation configuration, indexing and query optimization, monitoring and tuning. 1. After installation, you need to adjust the my.cnf file according to the server configuration, such as the innodb_buffer_pool_size parameter, and close query_cache_size; 2. Create a suitable index to avoid excessive indexes, and optimize query statements, such as using the EXPLAIN command to analyze the execution plan; 3. Use MySQL's own monitoring tool (SHOWPROCESSLIST, SHOWSTATUS) to monitor the database health, and regularly back up and organize the database. Only by continuously optimizing these steps can the performance of MySQL database be improved.

MySQL download file is damaged and cannot be installed. Repair solution MySQL download file is damaged and cannot be installed. Repair solution Apr 08, 2025 am 11:21 AM

MySQL download file is corrupt, what should I do? Alas, if you download MySQL, you can encounter file corruption. It’s really not easy these days! This article will talk about how to solve this problem so that everyone can avoid detours. After reading it, you can not only repair the damaged MySQL installation package, but also have a deeper understanding of the download and installation process to avoid getting stuck in the future. Let’s first talk about why downloading files is damaged. There are many reasons for this. Network problems are the culprit. Interruption in the download process and instability in the network may lead to file corruption. There is also the problem with the download source itself. The server file itself is broken, and of course it is also broken when you download it. In addition, excessive "passionate" scanning of some antivirus software may also cause file corruption. Diagnostic problem: Determine if the file is really corrupt
