Right answer, wrong way of coding it?

def summarize(alist): return('The sum of {} is {}'.format(alist, add_list(alist)))

I get this message when 'checking work' and cannot move on...

Bummer! summarize returned the wrong output. Got 'The sum of [1, 2, 3] is 6' instead of 'The sum of [1, 2, 3] is 6.'.

Elliot Strickland You are almost right. But you missed a little information. In the two challenge, question was to use string version of "alist" variable.

In your code it is an list. But challenge expects string version.

Please check my code. 

def summarize(pass_list):
    return "The sum of {} is {}.".format(str(pass_list),add_list(pass_list))

I hope it helps

As I can see you are missing a . from the end of the sentence. The sum of [1,2,3] is 6.
