How can I pass global variables into a function?

How to pass data in python3 variables to another function?

• How would I store and pass the contents of r from main into two? It will print r if I make it r = something fixed, but how do I pass and hold variable contents into r. I tried random.getstate/setstate but it was saying "function object not subscriptable". import random from random import randrange def main(): r = random.randrange(1,13,1) print (r) r = random.randrange(1,13,1) def two(): if r==7 or r==11: print (r) else: print (r) main() two()

• Answer:

  Something like this should work #!/usr/bin/env python3 import random def main(): r= random.randrange(1,13,1) print(r) return r def two(r): if r == 7 or r == 11: print(r) else: print(r) two(main()) if you are not supposed to pass arguments, you could use a global variable. I'm not fond of that though.
