Python Global and Local Variables

Python Global and Local Variables.
python uses pass by object reference, which can be difficult to understand at first.
In my simple example you pass a variable to the function, but when the function makes a change to it, it is only changing a local variable and the global variable remains unchanged.

Adding the keyword global allows the function to make changes to a global variable.
