Hi, Kenneth. Can you help me with the challenge code FUNCTIONS is very hard convert lists in ints. Thanks. Javier

my_list = []

def add_list(my_list): addition = int(0) for x in len(my_list): addition = addition+ int(my_list[x]) return addition

add_list([1, 2, 3])

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.

Hi,

Look at the sum function of lists. That should help you out.

Thanks, José ... Here's my code:

my_list = []

def add_list(my_list): my_list = [int(x) for x in my_list] s = sum(my_list) return s

add_list([1, 2, 3])

Thanks a lot, my friend.

Have a nice Sunday.
