_LOCATION Townsend, DE_ Executing the command in your current state (Python state) would lead to a name conflict, as the 'state_name' variable has already been defined within the global scope of the script. To resolve this issue, you can either qualify the variable with the global keyword in your function or assign a new variable in the function itself. However, please note that using the global keyword inside a function is often considered bad practice due to its potential for unexpected behavior.

But before we delve into the solutions, let's understand the error. When you defined the 'state_name' variable, it became a global variable. Any changes to this variable within a function are not reflected in the global scope due to the way Python handles variable scope. This is known as the LEGB rule (Local > Enclosed > Global > Built-in), which determines the order in which names are looked up.
