float sum = numbers.Sum();

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

/*

*/
' Create a list of Single values.
Dim numbers As New List(Of Single)(New Single() _
                               {43.68F, 1.25F, 583.7F, 6.5F})

Computes the sum of the sequence of nullable Single values that are obtained by invoking a transform function on each element of the input sequence.

public:
generic <typename TSource>
[System::Runtime::CompilerServices::Extension]
 static Nullable<float> Sum(System::Collections::Generic::IEnumerable<TSource> ^ source, Func<TSource, Nullable<float>> ^ selector);
public static float? Sum<TSource> (this System.Collections.Generic.IEnumerable<TSource> source, Func<TSource,float?> selector);

<Extension()>
Public Function Sum(Of TSource) (source As IEnumerable(Of TSource), selector As Func(Of TSource, Nullable(Of Single))) As Nullable(Of Single)

Type Parameters

TSource

The type of the elements of source.

Parameters

source
IEnumerable<TSource>

A sequence of values that are used to calculate a sum.

selector
Func<TSource,Nullable<Single>>

A transform function to apply to each element.

Returns

The sum of the projected values.

Exceptions

source or selector is null.

Examples

The following code example demonstrates how to use Sum<TSource>(IEnumerable<TSource>, Func<TSource,Double>) to sum the projected values of a sequence.

Note

This code example uses an overload of the method that's different from the specific overload that this article describes. To extend the example to the overload that this article describes, change the body of the selector function.

    double totalWeight = packages.Sum(pkg => pkg.Weight);

    Console.WriteLine("The total weight of the packages is: {0}", totalWeight);
}

/*

*/
Structure Package
    Public Company As String

End Structure

Sub SumEx1()
    ' Create a list of Package values.
    Dim packages As New List(Of Package)(New Package() _
     {New Package With {.Company = "Coho Vineyard", .Weight = 25.2},
      New Package With {.Company = "Lucerne Publishing", .Weight = 18.7},

      New Package With {.Company = "Adventure Works", .Weight = 33.8}})

    ' Sum the values from each item's Weight property.
    Dim totalWeight As Double = packages.Sum(Function(pkg) _
                                             pkg.Weight)

    ' Display the result.
    Console.WriteLine($"The total weight of the packages is: {totalWeight}")
End Sub

' This code produces the following output:
'
' The total weight of the packages is: 83.7

Remarks

Items in source that are null are excluded from the computation of the sum. This method returns zero if source contains no elements or all elements are null.

You can apply this method to a sequence of arbitrary values if you provide a function, selector, that projects the members of source into a numeric type, specifically Nullable<Single> in C# or Nullable(Of Single) in Visual Basic.

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