This hasn't been a problem before, but before I continue my programming adventures I need clarification in the differences between Global Variables, Local variables, and constants.
From my understanding Global variables are initialized outside of everything, usually I put mine at the beginning of the code, after the heading. And its correct to put them in all caps right?
like GLOBAL_A for example

Local variables are initialized in functions and only used in those functions, pretty sure thats correct

Constants are what I'm confused with, they seem sort of like a global variable to me. I'm not sure where to initialize them and do I put them in all caps?

Or could it be that constants and global variables are the same thing?
Someone clear this up for me please.

You are right globals are outside of everything. Now the thing about constants is that they are constant (they never ever change) That is the difference between globals and constants, globals can change and constants can not. Yes I would say to put constants in all caps and at the top of the code.

awesome thanks for the help!

Python doesn't have real constants, they are the same as global variables.
