Hello All,
I've been working with Perl a long time and recently started to use
Python. I've been surprised by one behavior of Python.
In Perl:
===PERL===
#!/usr/pkg/bin/perl
use strict;
if(4 == 4)
{
my $name = "Stephane";
print("$name\n"
}
print("Out $name\n");
=========
This code will trigger an error because $name is declared inside the if
and is not usable outside of the block code. That looks logic to me.
===PYTHON===
#!/usr/local/bin/python
if 4 == 4:
name = "Stephane"
print(name)
pass
print("Out {}".format(name))
============
The exact same code in Python works fine, the variable name is used
outside of the if block even it has been declared inside.
This does not look right to me. Can we change this behavior or is there
any point to keep it this way ?
