Adding items in a list (using loops?)

[Seneca260]

Hi,

Sorry if this is a dumb question, but I am only a week into coding. I have a list that is comprised of integers. I would like to add these all together, but I can't seem to do it correctly.

broken_prices = [5, 3, 4, 5, 4] + [4]

def sum_list(broken_pieces):
    sum = 0
    for x in broken_pieces:
        sum += x
    return sum

Basically, I am trying to write code that will return the total of the numbers in the list, which would be 25.

Thanks in advance
