help me please
# 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.

define a function with a argument
have a variable to hold your return value
use a loop to select each of the the arguments values in turn
and now what?
