python code challenge task 1 of step 5

Hello!

First we need to define the function that takes a list: def add_list(iterable)

After that we need to loop through all the numbers of the list and sums all the value, starting with the value of 0, so total = 0

The loop should look similar to this below: for item in iterable: total += item

This means that for all the elements inside the list, the loop adds the relative value to the toal, so when it finds 1 the total is 0+1 + 1, when it finds 2 the total becomes 1+2 = 3, when it finds 3 the total gets 3+3 = 6 and so on..

At the end we need to return the total, Here is my full code for it:

def add_list(iterable):
  total = 0
  for item in iterable:
    total += item
  return total

thanks vittorio but this is the error message i am getting. Bummer! IndentationError: total += item
