Sum of Array Elements

Write a C++ program to compute the sum of the elements of an array of integers.

Sample Solution:

C++ Code :

#include <iostream> // Including the input/output stream library
using namespace std; // Using the standard namespace

// Function that calculates the sum of elements in an integer array
int test(int a1[])
{
    // Return the sum of the elements at indices 0 to 4 in array a1
    return a1[0] + a1[1] + a1[2] + a1[3] + a1[4];
}

// Main function
int main() 
{
    int nums[] = {10, 20, 30, 40, 50}; // Define an array nums with 5 integer elements
    cout << test(nums) << endl; // Output the result of test function for nums

    int nums1[] = {10, 20, -30, -40, 50}; // Define an array nums1 with 5 integer elements (some negative)
    cout << test(nums1) << endl; // Output the result of test function for nums1

    return 0; // Return statement indicating successful termination of the program
}

Sample Output:

150
10

Previous: Write a C++ program to check two given arrays of integers of length 1 or more and return true if they have the same first element or they have the same last element.
Next: Write a C++ program to rotate the elements of a given array of integers (length 4 ) in left direction and return the new array.
