larger_sum() takes two lists of numbers as parameters named lst1 and lst2. It returns the list whose elements sum to the greater number. If the sum of the elements of each list are equal, it returns lst1.
The purpose of the project is just personal learning. I may revisit this code to find different solutions or to apply it under other context.
In file larger_sum_extra_basic.py : larger_sum() loops through each list separately and adds to variables sum1 and sum2. After looping is done it, compares the two sums in an if statement and return the correct list.
- The excersise solution is too basic. It should be possible to do it with builtin methods and/or removing variables sum1 and sum2 = working directly with the lists.

Project is: technically finished, - may come back and improve it, or not.
