Enumerable.Sum Method (IEnumerable<Nullable<Decimal>>)

.NET Framework 3.5

Other Versions

Computes the sum of a sequence of nullable Decimal values.

Namespace: System.Linq
Assembly: System.Core (in System.Core.dll)

Syntax

C++

JScript

public static Nullable<decimal> Sum(
	this IEnumerable<Nullable<decimal>> source
)

Parameters

source: Type: System.Collections.Generic.IEnumerable<Nullable<Decimal>>
A sequence of nullable Decimal values to calculate the sum of.

Return Value

Type: System.Nullable<Decimal>
The sum of the values in the sequence.

Usage Note

In Visual Basic and C#, you can call this method as an instance method on any object of type IEnumerable<Nullable<Decimal>>. When you use instance method syntax to call this method, omit the first parameter. For more information, see Extension Methods (Visual Basic) or Extension Methods (C# Programming Guide).

Exceptions

Exception	Condition
ArgumentNullException	source is null.
OverflowException	The sum is larger than MaxValue.

Remarks

This method returns zero if source contains no elements.

The result does not include values that are null.

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

Examples

The following code example demonstrates how to use Sum(IEnumerable<Nullable<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.

float?[] points = { null, 0, 92.83F, null, 100.0F, 37.46F, 81.1F };

float? sum = points.Sum();

Console.WriteLine("Total points earned: {0}", sum);

/*
 This code produces the following output:

 Total points earned: 311.39
*/
