3,690 Pointsconverting a list to a string
i can't convert a list to a string in a function
# 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 add_list(list1):
sum_of_list = 0
for number in list1:
sum_of_list += number
return sum_of_list
def summarize(list1):
sum_of_list = 0
summary = 0
for number in list1:
sum_of_list += number
x_string = list1
summary = 'The sum of'+str(x_string)+'is'+sum_of_list
return summary

5,805 PointsHi! I think u need convert "sum_of_list" to string type. Like this:
def summarize(list1):
sum_of_list = 0
summary = 0
for number in list1:
sum_of_list += number
x_string = list1
#sum_of_list is number type, need use str() function for string operation
summary = 'The sum of'+str(x_string)+' is '+str(sum_of_list)
return summary
