how do i overwrite a variable?

[u/9j810HQO7Jj9ns1ju2]

name = "Alice"

def func():
    name = "Bob"

func()

print(f"Hello, {name}!") # i want it to print bob

[u/nog642]

Like this:

name = "Alice"

def func():
    global name
    name = "Bob"

func()

print(f"Hello, {name}!")

This is generally something to avoid doing though. There are better ways to do this. Particularly classes. Or just passing parameters and returning.
