is it possible to store a variable from a while loop to a function and then call that same variable from the function at the end of the loop

for eg:during while loop, problem here is that when i try to retrieve the variable from store() it fails...as it needs arguments to be passed..

```
def store(a,b,c):
    x1 = a
    y1 = b
    z1 = c
    return (x1,y1,z1)

def main():
    while condition:
          x = .......
          y = .......
          z = .......
          ......
          ......
          store(x,y,z) #store to function...
          ......
          ......
          ......
          s1,s2,s3 = store()
          ......
          ......
          ......

```
