3,690 Pointsuse strings and lists in a sentence
i'm getting ('The sum of', [1, 2, 3], 'is', 6) instead of 'The sum of [1, 2, 3] is 6,'.
# 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(list1):
sum_of_list = 0
for number in list1:
sum_of_list += number
return sum_of_list
def summarize(list1):
summary= "The sum of ", list1, "is",add_list(list1)
string_version = str(summary)
return string_version

The + symbol is used to concatenate strings in python
Hope this helps.
