1,702 PointsHow do I do this? Python basics stage 5
I have no clue how to do this
# 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.

Courses Plus Student 26,868 PointsHere's a simple way to implement add_list
def add_list(li):
result = 0
for i in li:
result += i
return result
I'll leave it to you to figure out the summarize function, HINT:just make use of the add_list function.

8,275 Pointsthe hints tell you what to do..
a function that accepts a list and returns a sum (this involves loop)
summarize accepts a list and returns in text (hint: use the previous function in this one to get the sum)
