2,815 PointsI am stuck on Functions Code Challenge
after completion of my task 2 my task one then fails.
# 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.
list1=[1,2,3]
def add_list(list1):
sum_of_list=0
for num in list1:
sum_of_list = sum_of_list + num
return sum_of_list
def summarize(list1):
sum_of_list=0
for num in list1:
sum_of_list = sum_of_list + num
return "The sum of {} is {}.".format(str(list1),str(sum_of_list)

def summarize(list1):
sum_of_list=0 # one too many spaces here
for num in list1:
sum_of_list = sum_of_list + num
return "The sum of {} is {}.".format(str(list1),str(sum_of_list) # missing a parenthesis to close format()
