Question

What is the order of namespaces in which Python looks for an identifier?

(a) Python first searches the global namespace, then the local namespace and finally the built-in namespace

(b) Python first searches the local namespace, then the global namespace and finally the built-in namespace

(c) Python first searches the built-in namespace, then the global namespace and finally the local namespace

(d) Python first searches the built-in namespace, then the local namespace and finally the global namespace

I had been asked this question during a job interview.

This interesting question is from Python Modules topic in division Mapping Functions and Modules of Python

Answer 1

Right option is (b) Python first searches the local namespace, then the global namespace and finally the built-in namespace

Easiest explanation - Python first searches for the local, then the global and finally the built-in namespace.
