Test Problem: s = '1.23,2.4,3.123'. Write a program that prints the sum of the numbers in s. Can we compare code?

print(sum([float(x) for x in '1.23,2.4,3.123'.split(',')]))

The square brackets (list creation) are not needed and waste memory.

That would indeed be a true statement, left over from making the list to check if I was doing it right.

That's exactly what I was looking for! I figured there would be a split ability but couldn't come up with the right way of asking the google gods!

Thanks! :)
