Variables are fundamental to storing and manipulating data in your programs.expand_more However, their scope, or the extent of their visibility, can be crucial.

• Local Variables: These variables are declared within a function’s body. They are only accessible within that specific function and are destroyed when the function finishes execution.
• Global Variables: These variables are declared outside of any function, typically at the beginning of your program. They are accessible from anywhere within the program, but their use should be cautious due to potential naming conflicts and unintended side effects.
