Mikicrep sum() helps you if you have an iterable. Evidently, if you want to sum all values from 1 to 9, you will not do 1+2+3+4+5+... Much better would be: sum(i for i in range(10)) Hope that helps! :)

Simply speaking, sum() is a function which receives an iterable as an input. However, items must be numbers, because sum() adds all iterable items to value 0. Example: sum([1, 2, 3]) That will output 6. Happy coding!

You can "convert" individual elements into an iterable by using double brackets. e.g print(sum((1, 2, 3, 4, 5)))

rodwynnejones Your coding is correct. You're actually creating a tuple object with those numbers and feeding it to sum()
