there is a function I want to define that takes all items in a list and adds them up together:
def sum():
for x in range(len(user)):
sum = 0
sum =+ user[x]
return sum
user = [1,1,1]
score = sum()
print(score)
for some reason it prints just 1, and my wanted output is 3.
>Solution :
Given a list of integers you could do this:
my_list = [1, 1, 1]
def accumulation(list_):
total = 0
for i in list_:
total += i
return total
…or…
sum(my_list) # where sum is the Python built-in function
