It's an indentation issue (since Python is whitespace sensitive, code will not compile unless it is indented the amount that the compiler expects.) If you line the return statement up with the for loop declaration, your code will pass.
def add_list(items_list):
total = 0
for item in items_list:
total = total + item
return total
Hope this helps!
