] def returnzero: return def_a[2] this is a simple version of the function i use, and of course in the real version [0] and [1] is used as well. what I am trying to do is to write a generic function like this def returnzero (def_a): return def_a in other words, a generic function that is able to use any list assigned to it, so that i don't have to write 8 functions just to use 8 list,because that would be dumb, right?
