Why You Shouldn't Use the Global Keyword in Python
In this Python lesson, I'll be going over why you should never use the 'global' keyword in your code. Often times, you'll hear me and others say you shouldn't use the global keyword, but you never really hear why. I'll be demystifying the global keyword and explaining why you shouldn't use the global keyword in Python and why it's generally recommended you do not use it.
