[Tutor] doing maths on lists

Bonjour

I have three lists with 65 float items and would like to do the following sum:

L0 = ([sum(L0A[i]*cos(L0B[i]+L0C[i]*JME) for i in range(0,64,1))])

So it just should do a sum across all the items in the list:

L0A[0]*cos(L0B[0]+L0C[0]*JME)+ L0A[1]*cos(L0B[1]+L0C[1]*JME)+...
+ L0A[64]*cos(L0B[64]+L0C[64]*JME)= some float number


However, I always get this error:
		
TypeError: can't multiply sequence by non-int of type 'float'				

I looked it up and there seems to be some solution using either the "for-in" command or the "map(int,...)" command but I just can't get it to work....


Any help will be very much appreciated :)

Greetings from Sydney
Chris
