The first part of the challenge asks you to create a function that will take a list as an argument and return a total of the numbers in the list so for example if the list was [1,2,3] your function should return 6 and so on.
The second part of the challenge asks you to create a function called summarize that will also take a list as an argument and return a string like so "The sum of X is Y" where X will be the passed in list to the summarize function and Y the total of the passed in list. You can make use of the add_list function to get the total.
hope this helps in understanding what the challenge is asking of you.
