Tried creating a list of the arguments, however I am creating too many positional arguments.

matrix1 = [[1, -2], [-3, 4],]
matrix2 = [[2, -1], [0, -1]]
matrix3 = [[2, -1], [0, -1]]

matrix = []
def add_many(a = list(*matrix)):
    for num in a:
        for i in range(len(matrix[num])):
            for j in range(len(matrix[num])):
                print(matrix[num][i][j] + matrix[num][i][j])

add_many(matrix1,matrix2)
