IDLE 1.1 >>> def plus2(realNumber): raelNumber = realNumber+2 return realNumber >>> gimme = plus2(10) >>> gimme 10 I seem to recall some external module that's paw through code looking for potential problems of this kind. Technically speaking, there's no mistake here. The coder created a local variable that went out of scope. He could always say "I meant to do that."
