    I know this is just a simple example but sum() doesn’t teach you about the concept of sums. It would have to be something like:

    def sum_up(my_list):
        result = 0
        for item in my_list:
            result = result + item
        return result
    

    Then you could run that through a debugger and see how the variables change at every step. That way you can develop an understanding of what’s going on there.
