I solve this program by making a list ```x = [1, 2,3]
is this solution is correct according to the problem in challenge.
```functions.py
# 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.
x = [1, 2, 3]
def add_list(arg1):
total = sum(arg1)
return total
total_sum = add_list(x)
def summarize(arg1):
string_list = str(arg1)
string_con = "The sum of " + string_list + " is " + str(total_sum)
return string_con

#x = [1, 2, 3] #<-- commented
def add_list(arg1):
total = sum(arg1)
return total
#total_sum = add_list(x) #<-- commented
def summarize(arg1):
string_list = str(arg1)
string_con = "The sum of " + string_list + " is " + str(add_list(arg1)) #<-- Changed
return string_con
