defining a global var in python code example

Example 1: 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 2: how to make a variable global in python

x = 5 #Any variable outside a function is a global variable

def GLOBAL():
	global y #if a variable is inside a function, use the 'global' keyword
    y = 10 # now this variable (y) is global
