WHAT DID I DO WRONG
def add_list(lst) :
result = 5
for item in lst:
result += item
return result
def summarize(lst) :
X = list
Y = add_list(list)

-
def summarize(lst):
needs to be outdented to the same level asdef add_list(lst)
-
summarize()
needs areturn resut
statement. -
format()
arguments need to match the number of targets "{}". You need another "{}"

result = 0
for item in lst:
result += item
return result
def summarize(list):
X = list
Y = add_list(list)
result = "The sum of {} is {}".format(X, Y)
return result
your result was wrong, You did resut and you didn't add 2 curly brackets to replace X and Y
