I cant find the answer to the code challenge in functions where you have to make a function called add_list first part

Make a function named add_list that takes a list. The function should then add all of the items in the list together and return the total. Assume the list contains only numbers. You'll probably want to use a for loop. You will not need to use input(). this is the question

Hi rohit.

summ = 0

def add_list(list):
    for i in list:
        sum += list[i]

I should be something like this. Adding a link to the challenge would help ;)

Welcome. Did it work though?

yeah it did I just had to modify the code a bit

Glad it helped :)

numbers = [1,2,3]

def add_list(num): return sum(num);

add_list(numbers);
