```{r setup, include=FALSE}
knitr::opts_chunk$set(echo = TRUE)
```

## Load `reticulate` package

```{r, comment=NA}
library(reticulate)
```

## Python chunk

```{python}
# List of numbers
numbers = [1, 2, 3, 4, 5]
# variable to store the sum
sum = 0
# iterate over the list
for val in numbers:
	sum = sum+val

print("The sum is", sum)

```


## Access the Python variable from R

```{r}
py$numbers
```

## Create a Python array from R

```{r}
py$a = 1:10 
```

Now `a` is available in Python.

```{python}
a
```
