Hi Satish!

Thanks for reaching out.

Your code is correct. I am referring to both

Numbers =[1, 5, 64, 24, 5]
sum(Numbers) 

and 

list_1=[1,2,3,4]
sum(list_1)

(for the latter, please not that ‘list’ is a keyword in Python, so it is not good to use it as a variable name as well. Adding a number, particularly for the purpose of this course, solves the problem quite well!).

What you need to do to solve the issue is execute the lines where you assign a value to the variable in question.

I.e. in your case, please execute Numbers =[1, 5, 64, 24, 5] first and only then execute sum(Numbers). Otherwise what you have is code, but please remember that without executing it, it stays like that – just code. We must always execute it for it to have an effect on our work.

Hope this helps.
Best,
Martin
