add_list = list()
summarized = 0
def adding_list(num):
add_list.append(num)
for num in range(4):
adding_list(num)
summarized = summarized + add_list[num]
print(summarized)
print(add_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.
add_list = list()
summarized = 0
def adding_list(num):
add_list.append(num)
for num in range(4):
adding_list(num)
summarized = summarized + add_list[num]
print(summarized)
print(add_list)

The exercise requires that you make a function called add_list. Instead you've created a variable add_list and you assigned an empty list to it. When you do add_list = list() you assign an empty list to a new variable called add_list.
Since the add_list points to an empty list and not a function that can be invoked, the automatic exercise checker will issue an error (it will try to actually invoke the empty list as a function).
Try to read carefully the exercise and do what it requires. In this case, you need to implement a function called add_list. So, in your code you should have something like:
def add_list(a_list):
# do something here with the input list
Hope this helps.
