## Instruction

```
Please fix the function in Python__74.py such that all test cases pass.
Environment has been set up for you to start working. You may assume all necessary tools are installed.

# Problem Statement
def total_match(lst1, lst2):
    l1 = 0
    for st in lst1:
        l1 += len(st)
    
    l2 = 0
    for st in lst2:
        l2 += len(st)
    
    if l1 <= l2:
        return lst2
    else:
        return lst1

def check(total_match):

    # Check some simple cases
    assert True, "This prints if this assert fails 1 (good for debugging!)"
    assert total_match([], []) == []
    assert total_match(['hi', 'admin'], ['hi', 'hi']) == ['hi', 'hi']
    assert total_match(['hi', 'admin'], ['hi', 'hi', 'admin', 'project']) == ['hi', 'admin']
    assert total_match(['4'], ['1', '2', '3', '4', '5']) == ['4']
    assert total_match(['hi', 'admin'], ['hI', 'Hi']) == ['hI', 'Hi']
    assert total_match(['hi', 'admin'], ['hI', 'hi', 'hi']) == ['hI', 'hi', 'hi']
    assert total_match(['hi', 'admin'], ['hI', 'hi', 'hii']) == ['hi', 'admin']


    # Check some edge cases that are easy to work out by hand.
    assert True, "This prints if this assert fails 2 (also good for debugging!)"
    assert total_match([], ['this']) == []
    assert total_match(['this'], []) == []

check(total_match)

IMPORTANT: You should ONLY interact with the environment provided to you AND NEVER ASK FOR HUMAN HELP.
You should NOT modify any existing test case files. If needed, you can add new test cases in a NEW file to reproduce the issue.
You SHOULD INCLUDE PROPER INDENTATION in your edit commands.
When you think you have fixed the issue through code changes, please finish the interaction using the "finish" tool.
