Variable bullPostion is not being seen

Question

I have 2 variables specifically called "cowPosition" and "bullPosition" however its not being seen inside the function

Here is a snippet of my code

cowPosition = 1
bullPosition = 1

def gameplay():
    setposition(True) # Sets the starting position for both bull and cow
    while cowPosition or bullPosition >= 25:
        bullPosition += 1
        print(bullPosition)

What I want it too do is that it will loop 25 times until bullPosition = 25

Answer 1

The quick solution is to declare local variables rather than global ones:

def gameplay():
    cowPosition = 1
    bullPosition = 1
    while cowPosition or bullPosition >= 25:
        bullPosition += 1
        print(bullPosition)

To understand how this works, I suggest you read about the difference between local and global scopes.
