Passing a multidimensional array to a function in python

I was just trying an maze-mouse game, to retain the position of the mouse in array,

I created a multidimensional array in python

maze = [[0 for x in range(8)] for x in range(8)] 

and I called a function using

l = move_mouse(m,maze) 

function is

def move_mouse(m,maze =[i][j]): if m=='down': i = i+1 return maze 

How to pass the array with with values i and j in maze so that to retain the current position and return the same to main function?

Please tell if I'm wrong in assigning it.

The maze and the position are two different objects, you cannot mix them in a way you tried. Keep them separate:

def move_mouse(m, maze, pos): if m == 'down': # check the maze pos = pos[0], pos[1] + 1 return pos maze = [[0 for x in range(8)] for x in range(8)] pos = (4,4) pos = move_mouse('down', maze, pos)
