How to find the total of 5 numbers using for and range?

Answer 1

sum(n for n in range (1, 6))

This is the most simple way, but involves generator expression.

For absolute beginner level you can do it imperative style
total = 0
for number in range(1, 6):
total += number

Answer 2

l=[]

for i in range (5):
l[i] = input("items : ")

Sum(l)
