Getting TypeError: 'range' object is not callable when trying to get the sum of the squares of odd numbers between 1 and 1000

Question

I'm trying to get the sum of the squares of odd numbers between 1 and 1000, but for some reason I'm getting the error "TypeError: 'range' object is not callable" What could the issue be?

squares = []

oddnumbers = range(1,1001,2)

for number in oddnumbers:

    squares.append(number**2)

mysum = oddnumbers (squares)

print("sum of squares of odd integers between 1 and 1000 is ", mysum)

Answer 1

Use keyword sum

Try:

squares = []
oddnumbers = range(1,1001,2)
for number in oddnumbers:
    squares.append(number**2)
mysum = sum(squares)

print("sum of squares of odd integers between 1 and 1000 is ", mysum)
