9,300 Pointswhat is the sum function for this task?
add_list = [1,2,3]
def sum_list(): for list in add_list: add.add_list???
# 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.
add_list = [1,2,3]
def sum_list():
for item in add_list

You should pass and argument to the function, so you forgot to set this argument in your function, my solution is something like this
def add_list(my_list):
total = 0
for item in my_list:
total += item
return total
