This is what I want to achieve
Variable=0
Some_function(Variable)
print (Variable)
I want the output to be 1 (or anything else but 0)
I tried using global by defining some_function like this, but it gave me an error "name 'Variable' is parameter and global"
def Some_function(Variable):
x=Variable+1
global Variable
Variable=x
You are using Variable as your global variable and as function parameter.
Try:
def Some_function(Var):
x=Var+1
global Variable
Variable=x
Variable=0
Some_function(Variable)
print (Variable)
You should not use the same name for parameter and the globale variable
The error message seem clear enough. Also, you wouldn't need to pass Variable as a parameter if you are using a global.
If you define
def f():
global x
x += 1
Then the following script should not output an error :
x = 1 # global
f(x)
print(x) # outputs 2
Another possibility :
def f(y):
return y+1
Which you can use like this :
x = 1
x = f(x)
print(x) # 2
If you want to modify global variable, you should not use that name as function parameter.
var = 0
def some_func():
global var
var += 1
some_func()
print(var)
Just use global keyword and modify variable you like.
Variable = 0
def some_function(Variable):
global x
x = Variable + 1
some_function(Variable)
Variable = x
print(Variable)
