How does one accept numbers without using the "input " function. Is the rest of this code okay?
# add_list([1, 2, 3]) should return 6
# summarize([1, 2, 3]) should return "The sum of [1, 2, 3] is 6."
# Note: bonum_list=list()th functions will only take *one* argument each.
num_list=list()
def add_list():
while True:
num=int(input("> "))
if num==0:
break
add_item()
else:
num_list.append(num)
def add_item():
for number in num_list:
print(number)
num+=num
print(number)
add_list()

8,275 PointsYou are doing it a bit wrong.
your functions will get an arguement which is a list. You just have to loop through and add it to another variable called sum/total and return that..

Treehouse Guest TeacherFunctions can receive arguments. We set this up when we define the argument:
def my_function(my_argument):
print(my_argument
Now when I call my_function and give it an argument: my_function(5), it'll print the argument. In this case, the number 5. Arguments can be any Python type and you don't specify the type when you create the function.
