Can functions change global variables?

Functions can access global variables and modify them. Modifying global variables in a function is considered poor programming practice. It is better to send a variable in as a parameter (or have it be returned in the ‘return’ statement).

Use of “global†keyword to modify global variable inside a function. If your function has a local variable with same name as global variable and you want to modify the global variable inside function then use ‘global’ keyword before the variable name at start of function i.e.

variableName you can modify the value of a global variable inside a function.

To create a global variable inside a function, you can use the global keyword. If you use the global keyword, the variable belongs to the global scope: Also, use the global keyword if you want to change a global variable inside a function. To change the value of a global variable inside a function, refer to the variable by using the global keyword:

The mutate_if () function modifies all variables that meet a certain condition. The following code illustrates how to use the mutate_if () function to convert any variables of type factor to type character:

If you remove a global variable, you remove the complicating factor in that now, arbitrary functions can no longer alter program state, at various points in execution–thus altering execution in a way that is otherwise imperceptible to other functions relying on that variable.

This tutorial explains how to use the mutate () function in R to add new variables to a data frame. The following functions from the dplyr library can be used to add new variables to a data frame:
