it seems I just cant wrap my head around how this works, I know it might be a stupid question, but I didnt understand how to do that even tho I looked after similar questions, in essence I just want the processes to use the same variable and change its value on the fly, output I am getting is
carl
10
bob
10
when it should be
carl
10
bob
5
from multiprocessing import Process, Manager, Value
import os
import time
xVal = Value('i', 0)
xVal.value = 10
def subtract(x):
xVal.value -= x
def name1(title):
time.sleep(5)
x = xVal.value
print(title)
print(x)
subtract(5)
def name2(name):
time.sleep(10)
x = xVal.value
print(name)
print(x)
if __name__ == '__main__':
#info('main line')
d = Process(target=name1, args=('carl',))
p = Process(target=name2, args=('bob',))
d.start()
p.start()
