Adding variable amounts of variables-CodePudding

What should I do if I have a variable number of variables and I want the sum of variables? For Eg.

import random
X = random.randint(1, 25)
Y = random.randint(1, 5)   X
for A in range(X, Y):
    W = random.randint(1, 10)  # you want sum of all W produced
    # W = W W     --> will not work

From this very random system, I want to extract the sum of all W.
something like W = W W won't work, the value of the previous result cannot be stored

import random
X = random.randint(1, 25)
Y = random.randint(1, 5)   X
W = 0
for A in range(X, Y):
    W  = random.randint(1, 10)  


print(W)

Based on @Sembei Norimaki answer

You don't even need a for loop for that, simply sum over a generator expression.

import random
X = random.randint(1, 25)
Y = random.randint(1, 5)   X
W = sum(random.randint(1, 10) for _ in range(X, Y))
