Answer 1

Program:

# Function sum_evens that takes a list of numbers and returns the sum of evens in the list
def sum_evens(lst):
    # declare a variable to hold the sum
    sum = 0
    # run a loop to get each number in the list
    for i in lst:
        # if i is even add it to sum
        if (i % 2 == 0):
            sum = sum + i
    # return the sum of evens
    return sum

# declare a list of numbers
list_of_nums = [1, 5, 4, 8, 5, 3, 2]
# call the sum_evens function passing the list as parameter
x = sum_evens(list_of_nums)
# display the sum of evens
print("Sum of evens in the list: " + str(x)) #prints 14
