I get this out put
=============================== RESTART: Shell ===============================
>>>
Warning (from warnings module):
File "E:/Python/Roy Progs/test.py", line 2
global x
SyntaxWarning: name 'x' is assigned to before global declaration
>>>
==================== RESTART: E:/Python/Roy Progs/test.py ====================
10
>>>
when I run this code.
x=5
global x
x=10
print x
Yes I know that defining a variable after assigning it a value is absurd, however python seems to understand the code. I have 2 questions: 1) Why does Python give a warning and not an error. 2) why is there a restart after the warning message.
It would be helpful to know how exactly python is interpreting this code. thanks in advance.
