What is the Python equivalent of static variables inside a function?

Question

I have this example in C/C++ and I want the same code for Python

void numbers()

{

    static int count = 0;

    count++;

    printf("count is %d\n", count);

}

How to implement static member at a function level as opposed to the class level?If I place a function into a class will it change anything?

Answer 1

You can add attributes to a function, and use it as a static variable.

def function():

  function.counter += 1

  print(function.counter)

function.counter = 0
