More On Function

The document discusses global and local variables in Python functions. It defines global variables as those declared outside a function and accessible within any function. Local variables are declared within a function and only accessible within that function. The global keyword can be used to declare a global variable within a function or make a global variable accessible to a function to modify it. The document also provides an example of a recursive function to calculate the factorial of a number.
