12,842 PointsStuck on Python Function task 1
trying to figure this out without asking for answer but it seems like my only option. here is my code
# 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.
def add_list(list_of_numbers):
counter = 0
for item in list_of_numbers:
counter = counter + item
return counter
