How to Hard Code Inner Product Using Python

I'm having some trouble hard coding the inner product calculations using Python and could use some assistance.

Right now, here is my code:

def getNums():      one = []             Strx = input("Enter a number (<Enter> to quit) >> ")      while Strx != "":          x = float(Strx)          one.append(x)             Strx = input("Enters some numbers. Press Enter to quit")      return one    def innerproduct(one):      total = 0      for index, val in enumerate(one):          if index % 2 == 0:              total *= val          else:              total += val      return total  

I'm assuming this is incorrect to get my values, but can someone lead me in the right direction so I can get the inner product? I'm trying to calculate by using x1 * b1 + x2 * b2 + x3 * b3... etc.
