Way to pass multiple parameters to a function in python

Question

I have written a python script which calls a function. This function takes 7 list as parameters inside the function, something like this:

def WorkDetails(link, A         


        

Answer 1

You can change it to:

def WorkDetails(link, details):

Then invoke it as:

details = [ AllcurrValFound_bse, AllyearlyHLFound_bse, 
            AlldaysHLFound_bse, AllvolumeFound_bse, 
            AllprevCloseFound_bse, AllchangePercentFound_bse, 
            AllmarketCapFound_bse ]
workDetails(link, details)

And you would get the different values out of details by:

AllcurrValFound_bse = details[0]
AllyearlyHLFound_bse = details[1]
...

It would be more robust to turn details into a dictionary, with the variable names as keys, so take your pick between a few more lines of code vs. defensive programming =p
