Challenge 3: Updating Outer Scope Values Again

Time for another coding challenge.

Problem statement

This problem is a variation of the previous problem statement. This time, implement a nested function update_var() that takes in value as a parameter, and updates the value of the var variable in the outer function scope to the one supplied as a parameter. It shouldn’t affect the value of the var variable in the global scope.

Sample input

var = 9

def some_function(num):
  var = 5
  update_var(num)
  return var
 
print(some_function(6))
print(var)

Sample Outptut

6
9
