Question

Write a pure functional program to add up numbers in a list. Start with the template given, and do not change anything except where noted. Do not attempt to use loops -- this will only work with recursion. For example:

If the input is:

Then the output will be:

def total(lst):
return (
#### YOUR CODE HERE ####
#### DO NOT WRITE CODE OUTSIDE OF THIS ####
#### RETURN STATEMENT ####
)

def getValue():
   try:
       return int(input())
   except:
       return None

v = getValue()
myLst = [v]
while v != None:
   v = getValue()
   if v != None:
   myLst.append(v)
print(total(myLst))

Explanation / Answer

def total(lst):
if len(lst) == 1:
return lst[0]
else:
return lst[0] + total(lst[1:])

def getValue():
   try:
       return int(input())
   except:
       return None

v = getValue()
myLst = [v]
while v != None:
   v = getValue()
   if v != None:
   myLst.append(v)
print(total(myLst))
