2,060 PointsFrom what I've learned in this course I don't know how to add each individual item in a list to the other ones.
I'm not sure what I'm doing wrong with this code. According to sources online sum() is a built in function and it doesn't appear to be working. Other than that I don't remember learning how to add individual items in a list during this course.
# 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.
list = [1, 2, 3]
def add_list(x):
print(sum(x))
add_list(list)
