to access global variable in python function 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: 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)
