How to get a list of str and turn them to ints to add

Question

Use the string.split method create a list of numbers from the following string and then sum up the numbers. Print the sum to the screen.

'90,67,87,102,77,80'

Answer 1

input = '90,67,87,102,77,80'

print(sum(map(int, input.split(','))))

We split the string on commas, which results in a list of strings that we want to turn into numbers. Then we map over that list by applying the int function to each string. This results in a new list of integers that we want to get the sum of. Finally we get the summation of every element In our list of numbers, and print out the result.
