Initializes a 2D list of given width and height and value.
- Use a list comprehension and `range()` to generate `h` rows where each is a list with length `h`, initialized with `val`.
- Omit the last argument, `val`, to set the default value to `None`.
```py
def initialize_2d_list(w, h, val = None):
return [[val for x in range(w)] for y in range(h)]
```
```py
initialize_2d_list(2, 2, 0) # [[0, 0], [0, 0]]
```
