I have a problem and need to create a function that adds values that are within a list. I have done this and the code is down, however, Python returns me the value 3 as a result, when in fact the value should be 103. I can not find the error at all, if anyone can help thanks.
Code below:
def soma(x):
total = 0
for i in x:
total += i
return total
l1 = [3,7,1,90,2]
print(soma(l1))
Your error is in the indentation of the expression return total ; you put the return inside the loop% re% loop, so the function will always end in the first iteration, returning the value referring to the first element in the list. To fix, simply remove the indentation:
def soma(x):
total = 0
for i in x:
total += i
return total
l1 = [3,7,1,90,2]
print(soma(l1))

You can try to recognize the error by designing the table test for your code: What is a Table Test? How to apply it?
In addition, Python already has a native function, for , which computes the sum of lists.
l1 = [3,7,1,90,2]
print(sum(l1)) # Exibe 103
