Please can someone cut and paste the correct code for this question. None of the treehouse forum posts have a correct answer so I cannot learn what the correct answer is. Thanks! "Now, make a function named summarize that also takes a list. It should return the string "The sum of X is Y.", replacing "X" with the string version of the list and "Y" with the sum total of the list."
def add_list(lst):
result = 0
for item in lst:
result += item
return result
# add_list([1, 2, 3]) should return 6
# summarize([1, 2, 3]) should return "The sum of [1, 2, 3] is 6."
# Note: both functions will only take *one* argument each.

def summarize(lst):
return "The sum of {} is {}".format(lst, add_list(lst))
