Why is this code not working to sum the values in s??

s='1.23 , 2.34 , 3.123' ans=0 for i in s: ans = ans + int(i) print (ans) Why is it bringing value error??

an other pythonic way to do the summation could be: it's better to use a list instead of a string: s=[1.23 , 2.34 , 3.123] print(sum(s)) # if input can not be other than this, split and sum: s='1.23 , 2.34 , 3.123'.split(',') print(sum([float(i)for i in s]))

because s is a string and when you search a string with a for loop, you look at each induvidual character. '.' is not a number, so int('.') raises a value error try: s=[1.23,2.34,3.123]
