Inside $\verb|outer()|$, a local variable $\verb|x|$ is created and set to $\verb|10|$.

Inside $\verb|inner()|$, the $\verb|global x|$ statement tells Python to use the $\verb|x|$ defined at the top level $($which is $\verb|5|)$, not the $\verb|x|$ in $\verb|outer()|$.

$\verb|inner()|$ increments the global $\verb|x|$ to $\verb|6|$.

When $\verb|outer()|$ returns $\verb|x|$, it returns its own local $\verb|x|$, which is still $\verb|10|$.

The final print statement outputs the returned local value $(\verb|10|)$ and then the updated global value $(\verb|6|)$.
