Courses Plus Student 677 Pointsthe question of function.py is somewhat confusing.
The question prompt has a question that is somewhat understandable, but the comments in the script are very confusing. I'm not sure exactly what's wanted.
# 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.
my_list = []
def add_list():
for items in my_list:
print('items count {}'.format(len(my_list)))
break
print (add_list())

Treehouse Guest Teacheradd_list should be a function that takes a list and adds everything in the list together. Your add_list doesn't take any arguments, so it can't pass the challenge.

Courses Plus Student 677 Pointsok, the following passes the challenge, however, what would I do If I get a list with a lot of variables? I can't just do my_list[0]+....
my_list=[1,2,3] def add_list(x): return my_list[0]+my_list[1]+my_list[2]

Treehouse Guest TeacherWell, we covered how to loop through a list in a previous video. So start with 0 and add the things in the list to that.
