Well, the standard way you should do it is to use import to import a
certain variable - for example -
a.py -
x = 3

There aren't true constants in Python, but instead we use a standard

PI = 3.14, as opposed to pi = 3.14 which could change (according to

Well, based on what you asked, you would've, but based on the code,
all it was doing is printing "returnValue - value"
Of course, a better way of doing it would be to use formatting -
For example,

The most Pythonic ways of checking if a value is within a list is to use the
"in" keyword, for example, using your data -
5 in [2, 6, 5]
Which will return True, as 5 is in the list. You can then use this in the
following generic way -
if variable in list:
do_things
Where variable is the varible y
44 matches
