If you anticipate increasing the number of values passed to the
function, and you're doing the same operation on all of them, why not
pass in a list::
>>> def add_one_to_each(nums):
... """ Makes a new list with each value incremented by one. """
...
... incremented_nums = [x+1 for x in nums]
... return incremented_nums
...
>>> foo = [3, 5, 8]
>>> bar = add_one_to_each(foo)
>>> bar
[4, 6, 9]
