Declaring a Global Variable in a Function
#2
Well, you never call the function for one thing. Functions don't do anything until you call them. But really, globals are the wrong way to do this. Use return instead:

solution = 0
 
def perform_math(x, y):
    return x + y

solution = perform_math(1, 2)
 
print(solution)
