Howto pass Array/Hash into Function

[Wijaya Edward]

Hi,

How can I pass Array, Hash, and a plain variable
in to a function at the same time.

I come from Perl. Where as you probably know
it is done like this:

sub myfunc {

my ($plain_var, $hash_ref,$arref) = @_;
# Do sth with those variables

return;
}

I wonder how can that be done in Python.

At the risk of being a jerk (sorry, I'm really just curious):
Why isn't that obvious?

I wondered that too and wasn't even going to answer, but then I thought
mabye the question was meant to be more general, like "what is the
syntax for passing objects to functions in python?"

It wouldn't be obvious to someone who learned Perl as their first
programming language because Perl chose to ignore the otherwise almost
universal convention that formal parameters determine the arguments that
a function or procedure can be calles with.

Thanks for your understanding Steve.

Furthermore, my related concern
is how does Python actually deal with 'reference' in Perl.
But now, it is clear to me now that Python simply
treats them as object.

sounds like you really need to reset your brain:
