Passing through variables through functions Python

Question

How could I transform this code to use one function and use a different variable depending on which variable is passed through when the function is called?

def p1win():
    p1cards.append(play1card)
    p1cards.append(play2card) 

def p2win():
    p2cards.append(play1card)
    p2cards.append(play2card)

Any help would be greatly appreciated, thanks

Answer 1

You can make a function win(cards) and pass in the winner's cards.

def win(cards):
    cards.append(play1card)
    cards.append(play2card)

Then, when a player (eg p1) wins, simply do:

win(p1cards)

I hope this helps!
