265 PointsHow do I replace an X with a string version of a list? return "The sum of " + str.join(list) + " is " + add_list(list
I have the following code and it keeps giving me an error message that I am not using str correctly.
return "The sum of " + str.join(list) + " is " + add_list(list) + "."
# 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(list):
sum = 0
for item in list:
sum = sum + item
return sum
def summarize(list):
return "The sum of " + str.join(list) + " is " + add_list(list) + "."

if you just pass the list and the call to add_list function as a string the challenge will work.
# 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(list):
sum = 0
for item in list:
sum = sum + item
return sum
def summarize(list):
return "The sum of " + str(list) + " is " + str(add_list(list)) + "."
