12,630 PointsHello,
If you want to the sum of the items in palindromic_primes array, you need to call the mimic_array_sum() function and pass the palindromic_primes array as its argument. Then echo the result to screen if you want. Like the following:
echo mimic_array_sum($palindromic_primes);
Hope that helps, Placid
