Scope exercises

Variable scope
--Exercise A-- Copy the following code:
# obtain last name from user
def getLastName():
last_name=raw_input("What's your last name?")
# create a full name from the first and last names
def combineName():
full_name=first_name+" "+last_name
print_name()
#Print user's name
def print_name():
print "User's full name:"+full_name
first_name=raw_input("What's your first name?")
getLastName()
combineName()
- What is the scope of the following variables
- last_name
- first_name
- full_name?
- Ensure last_name is transferred from getLastName() to the default scope
- What argument needs to be passed to print_name()?
- Add a new function that asks "Are you (j)junior, (s)senior or (n) neither?", and determines the correct suffix ("Jr.", "Sr.")
- Modify the combineName function so the suffix is added to full_name
--Exercise B--
- Create a new program
- Define two variables, 'x' and 'screen_width'
- Set screen_width to 800
- Ask the user for 'x'
- Write a function that performs the screen wrapping you created in Robot :
If the input is greater than screen width, set it to 0 If the input is less than 0 then set it to the screen width
- Add code to print x before and after the function is called
- Test the code with several sample values
- Extend the wrapping function so that it also works with the y-coordinate
- How can we return two variables (x and y co-ordinates)?
