[Tutor] While condition

[Aaliyah Ebrahim]

Hi, in my code below, why is it returning a value that is greater than 1200
if my condition is that the value should be less than 1200? Thank you.


def sum_list(val):
    list_sum = 0
    n =0
    mylist = []
    while list_sum < val:
        n = n+1
        term = n**2
        list_sum = list_sum + term

        mylist.append(list_sum)
    return list_sum,n,mylist


print(sum_list(1200))


This is the output:

(1240, 15, [1, 4, 9, 16, 25, 36, 49, 64, 81, 100, 121, 144, 169, 196, 225])
