Let's get straight to the point.
Can we access the value of a global variable inside a function, if a local variable is also of the same name ?
Basically, is the below example possible ?
Please try it for yourself
count=4
def fun():
count=1
print(f"Local var count is {count}")
global count
print(f"global var count is {count}")
fun()
No right ?
Now before we go running to change the name of the variable to something like this
count = 4
def fun():
x = 1
print(f"Local var x is {x}")
print("global var count is {count}")
fun()
Please wait !
There exists a method called globals() from which we can achieve the same as shown below
count=4
def fun():
count = 1
print(f"local var count is {count}")
x = globals()['count']
print(f"global var count is {x}")
fun()
Hope it helps.
Thanks
