Given a situation where you just want to sum even numbers in a list, the following code would be useful to add even numbers to a new list, called <code>total</code>, and then print the <code>sum</code>.
<pre><code>items = [23, 555, 666, 123, 128, 4242, 990]
total = []

for each_item in items: 
 if each_item % 2 == 0: 
 total.append(each_item)


print(sum(total))
</code></pre>
