what i am doing wrong help me but dont show me the solution.
# 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(lst):
for x in lst:
total = sum(lst)
return total
def summarize(strlst):
for x in strlst:
total = sum(strlst)
return "The sum of"+" ".join(strlst)+"is:"+total

I recommend dropping the join method, and using curly braces to plug the values (specified as arguments of a format method for your string) into your return statement's string:
return "The sum of {} is {}.".format(strlst,total)
Hope this helps!
