The method returns the expected string (concatenated strings + sum of numbers). What needs to be fixed?

What is the right solution to this task? My method seems to return the right string, all strings concatenated and a sum of of numbers?

instances.py 
def combiner(*args):
    sum = 0
    words = ""


    for number in args:
        if isinstance(number, (float, int)):
            sum = sum + number

        elif isinstance(number, str):
            words = words + number

    final = words + str(sum)
    return final

The challenge said the function takes a (list) not a (tuple), so you need to fix the header of your function.

def combiner(args):

Good luck :)
