Explain the behavior of the different code sections shown below along with their output.

Case 1



A = 3

def f1( x ):
    print( "f1", x, A )

print( "A = ", A )
f1( 30 )


>>> 
A =  3
f1 30 3
>>>




Case 2



def f1( x ):
    print( "f1", x, A )

A = 3
print( "A = ", A )
f1( 30 )


>>> 
A =  3
f1 30 3
>>>


Case 3



A = 3

def f1( x ):
    print( "f1", x, A )
    A = 5
    
print( "A = ", A )
f1( 30 )
print( "A = ", A )


>>> 
A =  3
Traceback (most recent call last):

Case 4
