In an earlier question about lists, I was told about the issue of creation of local names in a function. However, I still can't understand why the program below outputs:
[999] sss [999] and not two identical lines of output. For both operators "+=" should anyway work in similar manner in the function xx in my view. Thanks for your help in advance. M. K.
