In this section we explain a small but important detail concerning functions and variables. We help you understand potential mistakes and prepare you for using variables inside of functions correctly. A variable that can be used in any part of the code is called a global variable.

The solution is to have variables that we can just use inside smaller pieces of code, local variables.
