It says Bummer! SyntaxError. not really sure what the error is.
# 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(blah):
total = 0
for i in blah:
total = total + i
return total
def summarize(blah):
return "The sum of {} is {}.".format(str(blah), str(add_list(blah))
