How to sum a list of numbers stored as strings

Question

Having a list of numbers stored as strings how do I find their sum?

This is what I\'m trying right now:

numbers = [\'1\', \'3\', \'7\']
result = sum(in         


        

Answer 1

If you prefer a less functional style, you can use a generator expression

result = sum(int(x) for x in numbers))
