when i run my code i get the message " Bummer! add_list didn't return the right answer. Got 1 when adding [1, 2, 3], expected 6". Im not sure why my function is not adding up my list items correctly.
Thx!
# 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.
a_list = (1,2,3)
def add_list(a_list):
total = 0
for item in a_list:
total += item
return total

Welcome to Treehouse!
Unindent your return total to the same indentation as your for statement.
Happy coding,
