Question

Describe the scope of the variables in this code.

Answer 1

Answer:

The scope of petName is local to the class pet.

The scope of color is accessible by all parts of the program.

Explanation:

The variable petName is local to the class, because the variable was created in a function whose name begins with two underscores.

The variable color, while created in the petCarrier class, is accessible to the entire function. It was not created in a function whose name begins with an underscore.

Answer 2

Answer:

Scope of petName is only limited to class pet (pet class) and scope of color is accessible to the entire program.

Explanation:

petName is restricted by the contructor with an underscore: def __init__(self,strSpecies,strName):, meaning it cannot be manipulated outside that class and color does not have that.
