# 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.

5,027 PointsThe only hint you will get is feedback when you hit check work. If that hint does nothing to you, you should re-watch the video. If that doesn't help, you need to address what you don't understand and start asking people. Getting hint or answer tend to make people just sweep through without understanding what the code really is. The most awful part is that it leaves you a stereotype on particular problem which will limit you in a long term.
I've already handled this question before so you can probably ask me but you need to be specific about what you are struggling with. For example, what's variable?, how to loop over list?, what is a function? etc...
Since I don't know where you are struggling I will give a link to my previous answer. link

Treehouse Guest TeacherBelieve me, I'd love to be able to set up something like "I see you're having problems, try THIS" after a few bad submissions. The good news is that we're working on making code challenges and quizzes more helpful all the time, so maybe we'll have that soon.
