Hi, I dont get the task. Where does the list come from? Thanks in advance!
# 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():

The app code could be similar to:
# add_list function
def add_list(lst):
# A variable may be handy here
# Loop through each number in the list
# Add current number to previous number
# Return sum
# Define a list
my_list = [3, 5, 7]
# Store the sum of the list
list_sum = add_list(my_list)
print('List Total: {}'.format(list_sum))
