count functioning returning the result as 1.
def count(numbers):
total = 0
for x in numbers:
if x < 20:
total += 1
return total
list_1 = [1,2,3,15,22]
count(list_1)
1
please explain why the result is showing as '1', while the actual count of numbers should be 4.
Thank you.

Hi Thu!
Thanks for reaching out.
Please, use the following code:
def count(numbers): total = 0 for x in numbers: if x < 20: total += 1 return total list_1 = [1,2,3,15,22]count(list_1)
The return statement and the for loop should have the same indentation. This is because we want to return a result only after the for loop iterates through all elements.
Hope this helps.
Best,
Tsvetelin
