What this snippet does
Disassembling shows that local variables use faster LOAD_FAST instructions compared to global LOAD_NAME.
Expected output
Bytecode uses LOAD_FAST for locals
Why practise typing this
Typing internals & introspection code builds muscle memory for the symbols and indentation Python uses most, which prose-based typing tests never cover. DevType measures your words per minute and accuracy on this snippet and tracks the individual characters you mistype, so later lessons can target them.
