this prints a from calling f() function call print a wasn't in a class where it was self.a and changed, so it performed the function f which prints a and a = 1, but g just assigns the 20, and calls the f() function which shows a, there is no self.a, nor a class to show this in. >> >> g() >> #End >> >> I think the results should be 20, but it is 1.
