use global variable in function python code example

Example 1: global variable not working python

trying to assign a global variable in a function will result in the function creating a new variable
with that name even if theres a global one. ensure to declare a as global in the function before any
assignment.

a = 7
def setA(value):
    global a   # declare a to be a global
    a = value  # this sets the global value of a

Example 2: python access global variable

globvar = 0

def set_globvar_to_one():
    global globvar    # Needed to modify global copy of globvar
    globvar = 1

def print_globvar():
    print(globvar)     # No need for global declaration to read value of globvar

set_globvar_to_one()
print_globvar()       # Prints 1

Example 3: python global variables

global var1
var1 = 'whatever'

Example 4: global variable python

# Python global variable
# Probably should not use this, just pass in arguments

x = 0 # variable is in outer scope
print(x) # prints x (0)

def use_global_variables():
  # if using a global variable, the variable will not need to be mention while calling the function
  global x # calling the x variable from a function
  x += 1
  print(x) # prints x after adding one in the function (1)

Example 5: global in python

a = 'this is a global variable'
def yourFunction(arg):
    #you need to declare a global variable, otherwise an error
    global a
    return a.split(' ')

Example 6: how to make variable global in python
