Can someone explain to me what's wrong with this code? The output should be 20. Sorry for any inconvenience

Answer 1

Total is initially items[0] which is 3, and in for loop you revisit that 3 again, that's where 23 comes from, instead of 20... Just say total=0 instead of items[0]

Answer 2

Thanks, it worked :)
