You're probably overthinking this. I'll address your new example below.
First up: numbers are objects, strings are objects, classes are obj

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

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

*def add(numbers):*
* total = 1*
* for x in numbers:*
* total += 1*
* return total*
*print(add[1999, -672, 64]))*
*the answer I get is 4 but it should be 1,411*

Ok, I don't know how to change add to accept an arbitrary number of
arguments (I'm pretty new) and as for total = 1 idk but it worked for other
versions of this (multiplication), and figured it might work for this one,
do you have any tips on what a better number might be for the total to
equal?

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

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

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
