what is global variable 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: 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)
  
use_global_variables

=============================================
# Output:
0
1

Example 3: 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 4: global python

"""
USING GLOBALS ARE A BAD IDEA, THE BEST WAY TO PERFORM AN ACTION WHICH NEEDS GLOBALS WOULD 
BE TO USE RETURN STATEMENTS. GLOBALS SHOULD ONLY EVER BE USED IN RARE OCCASIONS WHEN YOU
NEED THEM
"""

# allows you to modify a variable outside its class or function

EXAMPLE:
  
def test_function():
  global x
  x = 10

test_function()
print(f"x is equal to {x}") # returns x is equal to 10

Example 5: global var in python

a = input('Hello: ')
if a == 'world':
  global b
  b = input('Here')
print b
#Prints the input for be as a result

Example 6: global in python

x = 5

def foo():
    global x = 10
    print("local x:", x)


foo()
print("global x:", x)
