Make a function named add_list that adds all of the items in a passed-in list together and returns the total.

you need to create a variable to store the total sum of the list and set it to 0 first. then loop over each item in the list parameter and add that item to the sum variable, then return the sum

remember that you can use a for in loop like so:

for something in some_list:

where something is the name you want to give to the item in the list you are looping over. it can be any valid variable name. after the word in you type the name of the list you want to iterate over (in this case the list we want to iterate over is some_list). then in the loop body you can reference the item in the list you are iterating over as whatever you decided to call it

so creating the variable to store the sum, looping over each item in the list and adding that item to the sum, and then returning the sum should look something like this:

def add_list(some_list):
  sum = 0
  for number in some_list:
    sum = sum + number
  return sum

I did it this way

def add_list(fun, *num): return sum(fun)

I didn't test this....

You'll need to iterate over each number in the list and add it to the next. To do this, you could use a function - passing the list as the parameter. Then you could use a variable and give it a value of '0' so that you can add to it each number of the list. Once the iteration is complete, your variable will be the sum of the numbers in the list. A for loop would be a good fit for this.

Also - you might want to make use of the sum function - such as: x = [2, 3, 5, 567] total = sum(x)
