    What Are Global, Protected and Private Attributes in Python?

    Uploaded by

    Global variables are defined in the global scope and can be accessed inside functions using the global keyword. Protected attributes have a single underscore prefix and can be accessed outside the class but developers should refrain from doing so. Private attributes have a double underscore prefix and result in an AttributeError if accessed from outside the class.

     What are global, protected and private attributes in Python?

    • Global variables are public variables that are defined in the global scope. To use the variable
    in the global scope inside a function, we use the global keyword.
    • Protected attributes are attributes defined with a underscore prefixed to their identifier
    eg. _sara. They can still be accessed and modified from outside the class they are defined in
    but a responsible developer should refrain from doing so.
    • Private attributes are attributes with double underscore prefixed to their identifier eg. __ansh.
    They cannot be accessed or modified from the outside directly and will result in an
    AttributeError if such an attempt is made.
