Enumerable.Sum Method (IEnumerable<Int32>)

public static int Sum(
	this IEnumerable<int> source
)

Usage Note

This method returns zero if source contains no elements.

In Visual Basic query expression syntax, an Aggregate Into Sum() clause translates to an invocation of Sum.

The following code example demonstrates how to use Sum(IEnumerable<Single>) to sum the values of a sequence.

Note
This code example uses an overload of this overloaded method that is different from the specific overload that this topic describes. To extend the example to this topic, substitute the elements of the source sequence with elements of the appropriate numerical type.

            List<float> numbers = new List<float> { 43.68F, 1.25F, 583.7F, 6.5F };

            float sum = numbers.Sum();

            Console.WriteLine("The sum of the numbers is {0}.", sum);

            /*
             This code produces the following output:

             The sum of the numbers is 635.13.
            */
