Create a function named combiner that takes a single argument, which will be a list made up

it says that the operation += can't be done fot int + list and i don't know how to fix it

instances.py 
def combiner(args):
    sums = 0
    words = ""

    for arg in args:
        if isinstance (arg,str) == True:
            words += arg
        elif isinstance (arg,(int,float)) == True:
            sums += args

    answer = words + str(sums)
    return(answer)
