why there is no race condition using global python variable

I have the following code:

from threading import Thread, Lock

value = 0

def adder(amount, repeats):
    global value
    for _ in range(repeats):
        value += amount
 
def subtractor(amount, repeats):
    global value
    for _ in range(repeats):
        value -= amount

def main():
    value = 0

    adder_thread = Thread(target=adder, args=(100, 1000000))
    subtractor_thread = Thread(target=subtractor, args=(100, 1000000))

    subtractor_thread.start()
    adder_thread.start()

    print('Waiting for threads to finish...')

    adder_thread.join()
    subtractor_thread.join()

    print(f'Value: {value}')

if __name__ == '__main__':
    main()

What I don’t understand is why I do not have a race condition here? We have global variable, two threads, it suppose to give different values when subtracting and adding, but for me it’s always giving 0. How to make race condition in this example? Is the global variable protected with some synchronisation primitive?

>Solution :

your code can create race condition.
but the value that you are printing is zero because of this line.

def main():
    value = 0

you declare a value in main which you try to print and it won’t access the global one.
try this:

def main():
    global value
    value = 0
