It's pretty typical for scoping rules. If you define variables outside of your
funcs you can access them inside the func. If you want to change the value in

Hello Devon,
Here's a quick [untested] push in the direction of taking the code
you gave below and modeling it as a class using an object-oriented
design. With this code, you could then create an instance of a puzzle as:
toughOne = Sudoku()
toughOne.play_game()
Within
when we say you can put all of your
functions in a class and use a class variable (in this case... self.puzzle)

Sounds like an excuse for a global (aggh!) variable.
Or more properly, wrap all of the relevant functions in a class and use a

Try dir()
That should give you the names in the current namespace.
You will see some names you didn't define too.
dir()is a really helpful command when you want to see whats possible.

Since starting, I defined some variables:

Now, I want to know which variables are in my workspace.
That is, is there a command similar to "who" in MATLAB ?
