local variable 'x' referenced before assignment code example
Example 1: unboundlocalerror local variable referenced before assignment python
"""
This happens when python thinks that your variable is local
(the scope is only within a specific function) and/or that
you have not assigned a value to the variable before in this
specific function (scope).
try:
- assigning the variable a value within the function
- Passing the variable to the function using it when calling the function
- Declaring the variable as global (bad practice)

Example 2: python referenced before assignment in function
# When Python parses the body of a function definition and encounters an assignment such as
feed = 5
#Python interprets feed as a local variable by default. If you do not wish for it to be a local variable, you must put
global feed
feed = 5
