python变量引用的错误：UnboundLocalError: local variable ‘range‘ referenced before assignment

class Battery():
    def __init__(self,battery_size=70):
        """ 初始化电瓶的属性"""
        self.battery_size = battery_size
    def describe_battery(self):
        """ 打印一条描述电瓶容量的信息 """
        #self.battery_size = size   #这里可以修改电瓶容量
        print("This car has a " + str(self.battery_size) + "-kWh battery. ")
    def get_range(self):
        """ 打印一条消息，指出电瓶的续航里程 """
        if self.battery_size == 70:
            range = 240
        elif self.battery_size == 85:
            range = 270
        message = "This car can go approximately " +str(range)
        message += " miles on a full charge"
        print(message)
    def upgrade_battery(self):
        if self.battery_size != 85:
            self.battery_size = 85

执行以上的代码时，会出现：UnboundLocalError: local variable 'range' referenced before assignment  的错误，出现该错误的主要原因为 range 为 局部变量，他的作用域只有 if 函数的范围，而message 并不在if 函数里，所以要在if 函数的外面声明 range 变量，如下面代码所示：

    def get_range(self):
        """ 打印一条消息，指出电瓶的续航里程 """
        range = 0     #在if函数外面，即def 域声明变量range,这样子就不会报错了
        if self.battery_size == 70:
            range = 240
        elif self.battery_size == 85:
            range = 270
        message = "This car can go approximately " +str(range)
        message += " miles on a full charge"
        print(message)
