Okay, thank you :) I didn't understand about 90% of what you explained
lol (sorry) but the sum worked and I have the correct answer. Also, do
you know any numbers that could replace 1 in this function as the total?
just curious
Thanks :)
Yes, apologi

1. You typed "total += 1", which means it's adding 1 each time around

Hello,
First of all, remove the asterisks around the snippet, it makes it so
hard to copy and paste your code. My answer is inlined.

If this is your sum, you need to initialize it to zero:
total = 0

do you have any tips on what a better number might be for the total to

Errors say that add takes 1 positional argument but 3 were given? Does this
limit how many numbers I can have or do I need other variables?
Here is what I have:
def add(numbers):
total = 1
for x in numbers:
total += x
return total
print(add(1999, -672, 84))
I have a multiply fun

A module containing an object with the same name as the module is a real
