Converting Pseudocode to Python

[ncp511]

Hi all, Im relatively new to the world of python. Im a Biotechnology major who is picking up coding in his own time. A seemingly very helpful pdf often teaches in pseudocode and there was one particular example which I am having trouble with. I will attach it below

GAUSS(n)
sum <- 0
for i <- to n
sum <- sum + i
return sum

The goal of the code is to create a function which adds your chosen number 'n' to every chronological number before it starting from zero. Below is my attempt

def GAUSS(n)
sum = 0
for i in range(0,n):
sum = sum + i
return sum

As I am learning python as a side hobby please feel free to let me know all things I am doing wrong. All because it is a hobby does not mean I dont want to do my best!

Thanks

Would be nice to have sample output.

def gauss(n):
    s = 0
    for i in n:
        s += i
    return s
    
# python way
print(sum(n))
