My global variable count=0 is being changed in the function (method) below:
def Counter(counter,boolean=False)->int:
if boolean:
counter+=1
else:
counter=0
return counter
and other functions uses Counter function:
def func1():
global count
count=Counter(count,True)
print("func1:",count)
def func2():
global count
count=Counter(count,True)
print("func2:",count)
When run these functions one more time like for loop
for _ in range(3):
func1()
func2()
the output is:
func1:1
func2:2
func1:3
func2:4
func1:5
func2:6
But output must be like this:
func1:1
func2:1
func1:2
func2:2
func1:3
func2:3
I researched different ways but could not find an answer. How can I do that?
Why previous code didn't work?
The global keyword makes the counter variable accessible from both functions.
Using global variable is a bad-practice, don't do that.
How to achieve what you asked?
The following word assigns a counter for each of the functions, which modify it on each call.
def func1():
func1.count+=1
print("func1:", func1.count)
def func2():
func2.count += 1
print("func1:", func2.count)
func1.count=0
func2.count=0
for _ in range(3):
func1()
func2()

What you ask, is how to use static-variable in a python function.
The term 'function static variable' refers to a variable that is accessible and owned by a function.
Python doesn't support static variables in a straight-forward manner such as in languages such as C# or Java, but there are other beautiful solutions in this thread, those are more complex and require the usage of decorators - so I didn't mention them.
