i am trying to create a while loop that ask the user for input then enters the input on a list to packing to return tota

funtion to add a series of list

def test_t(*a): a1 = sum(a) return a1

list to be enter on the funtion

li_st = [] while True: li_st = input("please enter all numbers")

the problem is that after you type done the list will contain the string DONE which will cause a error

if (li_st == "DONE"):
    int(li_st)
    la = test_t(li_st)
    print(la)
    break
else:
    continue

i hate this question system you can not write the code because the teamtrehouse system changes and add what ever they want making it impossible for anyone to follow what is the problem with the code and express all problem associate
