Answer 1

def function(x): #x is param
    print(x)


Example_5 = 1
function(2**3)
function('Example 2')
function(1)


def function_2():
    loc = 555


# function_2() if you run this code,
#print(loc)  there will be an error, since the variable is local
def function_3(unical_param):
    print('really unical')


function_3(1000)


#print(unical_param) if you run this code,there will be NameError
Example_5 = 7


def function_4(Example_5):
    print(Example_5)


""" variable inside a function and a variable with the same name outside
 of it are two different variables
 and their values do not overlap or replace """
function_4(Example_5)
