Hello I need help with combining lists where I am given two lists of costs from 2017 and 2018, to combine them into a single list called combined_costs and then calculate the sum of the costs from 2017-2018 called total_costs.
costs_2017 = [1300, 1500, 1360, 1789, 611]
costs_2018 = [1545, 789, 913, 8854, 462]
I figured out how to do the combined_costs:
combined_costs = cost_2017 + cost_2018
len(combined_costs)
But as for total_costs, I’m not sure if I am heading in the right direction but this is all I have for total_costs:
total_costs = combined_costs
>Solution :
If you are looking for a sum then:
total_costs = sum(combined_costs)
which is:
