Why the total I am getting is wrong?

Question

total = 0
for e in range(1, 5):
    total += e
print(e)

Output:

4

c = range(1,5)
total = 0
for e in c:
    total = total + c
print(c)

Output:

4

a = list(range(1, 5))
total2 = 0
for e in a:
    total2 = total2 + e
print(e)

Output:

4

Answer 1

Based on the title, i think you want to print the sum, so you should print the variable total or total2 , not the iterator.

total = 0
for e in range(1, 5):
    total += e
print(total)
