1,939 PointsSo confused about this objective. What am I supposed to do, and where to start?
Make a function named add_list that takes a list. The function should then add all of the items in the list together and return the total. Assume the list contains only numbers. You'll probably want to use a for loop. You will not need to use input().
# add_list([1, 2, 3]) should return 6
# summarize([1, 2, 3]) should return "The sum of [1, 2, 3] is 6."
# Note: both functions will only take *one* argument each.

15,913 Pointshi, here is the solution. and some discuss before.
https://teamtreehouse.com/community/make-a-function-named-addlist-that-takes-a-list-i-am-stuck-help
mylist = [1, 2, 3]
def add_list(mylist):
total = 0
for number in mylist:
total = total + number
return total
add_list(mylist)
if still confuse, visualization showing a Python program will help you.
just paste this code and see every step how it works. :)
