OK...this is where I bailed last time. I passed this Code Challenge part 1, then added the code for Summarize, and not only got it wrong but got told that it ruined the code I submitted for first part of the Challenge.
I have to tell you that's pretty discouraging, but anyway. Please can someone help give me a hint so I can go back, adjust part one and not add a part 2 that goes off like a bomb and destroys everything?
# add_list([1, 2, 3]) should return 6
# summarize([1, 2, 3]) should return "The sum of [1, 2, 3] is 6."
my_list = [1,2,3]
def add_list(my_list):
total = 0
for num in my_list:
total = total + num
return total
x = add_list(my_list)
print (x)
def summarize(my_list):
total = 0
for num in my_list:
total = total + num
return total
print "The sum of 1, 2, 3, is ", total
summarize(my_list)```
