this question is difficult to follow because i don't know how they want me to creat the list! is it passed as the function arguments or the list is a global variable that then used inside the function?? adding and returning value is then easy.
def add_list():

"Make a function named add_list that takes a list", means the function can expect to be passed a list as an argument:
# define function that takes a list
def function_takes_a_list(list):
return "list is {}".format(list)
# how it will be used or called by grader
function_takes_a_list([1, 2, 3])
You don't need to create the call of the function or include initial values for the list. The grader will supply the values when checking the code.
