459 PointsWhy do I keep getting a message saying "Oops! It looks like Task 1 is no longer passing."?
I passed the first part, but now I keep getting that message on the second part. I compared my response to some of the others in forums, and I can't figure out what I'm doing wrong.
# 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(items):
total = 0
for item in items:
total = total + item
return total
def summarize(listed_items)
return "The sum of {} is {}.".format(listed_items, add_list(listed_items))
summarize([1, 2, 3])

def summarize(listed_items):
Hope this helps!
