python - Having trouble creating a function that takes one argument, and returns a result of adding odd numbers between 1 and argument? -

so far have this...

  def sumofodds(n):     result = 0     in range(1, n+1, 2):         result = result +         print(result) 

this gives me sum, prints numbers come before it. need sum, not rest of values.

you can use loop , range() 2 step

sum = 0 max = 11 in range(1, max, 2): # not including max     sum += print sum  #out:25 (1 + 3 + 5 + 7 + 9)
