[Tutor] the products of an element of a list

Finally getting round to doing some more python.
Stuck on a little online exercise:
"Define a function prod(L) which returns the product of the elements in a
list L."
Let's say L = [1, 2, 3, 4]
I have done this so far but it's not quite working:
def prod(L):
sum = 1
for i in L:
sum = sum * i
return sum
Code seems to print the right value in REPL (i.e. 24) just a for loop
though !?!
Think I am not seeing something obvious.
Cheers,
Tahir
