Question

Write a function named "sum_values" that takes a list as a parameter and returns the sum of the values at indices 9, 8, and 11. You may assume the input will be large enough to have values at all these indices

Answer 1

Answer:

def sum_values(mylist):

 sumSomeNumbers = mylist[9]+mylist[8]+mylist[11]

 print(sumSomeNumbers)

Explanation:

Using python programming language;

A function is created called sum_values that accepts one parameter

Withing the function body, a variable called sumSomeNumbers is created to hold the sum of the elements at index 9,8 and 11

Finally a print Statement is used to output sumSomeNumbers

When the function is called It is passed a list as argument and it will display the sum of the three numbers at that indices

for example:

lst = [23,3,4,5,6,63,2,3,5,6,5,5,7,89]

sum_values(lst)

Outputs 16
