How to add multiple Inputs from the same loop

I am doing an exercise with python for a course I am currently enrolled in, but I cannot figure out how to add multiple inputs from the same loop together, here is the code I have so far:

ClassesTaken = input ("How many Classes are you taking?")
Class_Amount = int(ClassesTaken)
for i in range (Class_Amount):
    print("Class", i+1)
    Credits = int(input("How many credits for this class?"))
    total = 0
    total += Credits
print(total)

I am trying to add the inputs within the for loop

You need to move total = 0 outside your for loop, as this is re-assigning a value of 0 on every iteration. Thus, you are currently only printing the last number of credits entered by the user.

Your code should therefore look like:

ClassesTaken = input ("How many Classes are you taking?")
Class_Amount = int(ClassesTaken)
total = 0
for i in range (Class_Amount):
    print("Class", i+1)
    Credits = int(input("How many credits for this class?"))
    total += Credits
print(total)

Example input and output:

How many Classes are you taking?2
Class 1
How many credits for this class?10
Class 2
How many credits for this class?12
22
