Lesson 4.7 · Trace it

Trace: local scope

Python code5 rows to fill2 marks

Complete the trace table for this Python code. [2]

Line 1: x = 10
Line 2:
Line 3: def make_five():
Line 4, indented 1 level: x = 5
Line 5, indented 1 level: return x
Line 6:
Line 7: result = make_five()
Line 8: print(x)
Line 9: print(result)

Fill in one row each time a line changes x or result, or prints something. The table already has the right number of rows. In each row, write only what that line changes; you can leave the other cells empty or copy their values down. Write values the way Python shows them: 3 and 3.0 are different, and text goes in quotes. In the output column, write exactly what appears on screen, with no quotes around it.
