Python Local Vs Global

#########################
#   Global Scope Vs Enclosing Scope Vs Local Scope 
#   LEGB rule
#   Local(L): Defined inside function/class
#   Enclosed(E): Defined inside enclosing functions(Nested function concept)
#   Global(G): Defined at the uppermost level
#   Built-in(B): Reserved names in Python builtin modules
