I know I should avoid using global variables in the first place due to confusion like this, but if I were to use them, is the following a valid way to go about using them? (I am trying to call the global copy of a variable created in a separate function.)
x = "somevalue" def func_A (): global x # Do things to x return x def func_B(): x = func_A() # Do things return x func_A() func_B()
Does the x
that the second function uses have the same value of the global copy of x
that func_a
uses and modifies? When calling the functions after definition, does order matter?
Global variables can be used by everyone, both inside of functions and outside.
Use of “global†keyword to modify global variable inside a function. If your function has a local variable with same name as global variable and you want to modify the global variable inside function then use 'global' keyword before the variable name at start of function i.e.
The variables that are defined inside the methods can be accessed within that method only by simply using the variable name. Example – var_name. If you want to use that variable outside the method or class, you have to declared that variable as a global.
If you want to simply access a global variable you just use its name. However to change its value you need to use the global
keyword.
E.g.
global someVar someVar = 55
This would change the value of the global variable to 55. Otherwise it would just assign 55 to a local variable.
The order of function definition listings doesn't matter (assuming they don't refer to each other in some way), the order they are called does.
