Courses Plus Student 1,124 PointsPractice functions. Bad return
I made this code:
_list = [] def add_list(num): _list.append(num) return(sum(num))
def summarize(num):
return ("The sum of {} is {}.".format(_list,(sum(num))))
and the return is like this : The sum of [[1,2,3]] is 6.
How do I fixed to get only [1,2,3]
# add_list([1, 2, 3]) should return 6
# summarize([1, 2, 3]) should return
# Note: both functions will only take *one* argument each.
_list = []
def add_list(num):
_list.append(num)
return(sum(num))
def summarize(num):
return ("The sum of {} is {}.".format(_list,(sum(num))))

29,379 PointsHi Eric, The only change required is in function summarize(), such that it prints out the input parameter, num, as shown below.
# add_list([1, 2, 3]) should return 6
# summarize([1, 2, 3]) should return
# Note: both functions will only take *one* argument each.
_list = []
def add_list(num):
_list.append(num)
return(sum(num))
def summarize(num):
return ("The sum of {} is {}.".format(num,(sum(num))))
print(add_list([1,2,3]))
print(summarize([1,2,3]))
Hope this helps, iain
