Nope it should give you error. Restart your spyder or whatever that ide is. – Poojan Nov 21 '19 at 02:16

This code alone should raise a NameError. – Klaus D. Nov 21 '19 at 02:17
Do you already have a variable `x` in your namespace (i.e. in one of the first 56 runs you did)? It might be using that is why – Green Cloak Guy Nov 21 '19 at 02:19
@GreenCloakGuy how to overcome this? – Anuvicleo Nov 21 '19 at 02:22
Also please dont put image of your code. Others have to type whole thing to debug. Always paste code as text. – Poojan Nov 21 '19 at 02:30

your x inside class __init__ should give error. Your code is running because you are using IDE like syder/jupyter which store previously run code's result. If you restart your IDE and run same code again it will raise error name 'x' is not defined
If you want to reference x (object of class) use self to get that reference.

>>> class test:
...     def __init__(self, max):
...         print(self, "b")
...
>>> x = test(2)
<__main__.test object at 0x0000016A080052C8> b
>>> print(x,"a")
<__main__.test object at 0x0000016A080052C8> a

as you can see both x and self inside __init__ have same address.
Some reference to look at : What __init__ and self do on Python?
