Global Scope

So far we've been working in the global scope. That means that when we define a variable or a function, that name is accessible in every other place in our program, even within other functions.

For example:

pi = 3.14


def get_area_of_circle(radius):
    return pi * radius * radius

Because pi was declared in the parent "global" scope, it is usable within the get_area_of_circle() function.

Assignment

Let's change how we are calculating our player's stats! The only thing we should need to define globally is the character level and then let our functions do the rest!

Declare the variable player_level at the top of the global scope and set it to 4.
