Enumerable.Sum Method (IEnumerable<Int32>)

Microsoft Silverlight will reach end of support after October 2021. Learn more.

Computes the sum of a sequence of Int32 values.

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

Syntax

'Declaration
<ExtensionAttribute> _
Public Shared Function Sum ( _
    source As IEnumerable(Of Integer) _
) As Integer
public static int Sum(
    this IEnumerable<int> source
)

Parameters

Return Value

Type: System.Int32
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<Int32>. When you use instance method syntax to call this method, omit the first parameter.

Exceptions

Exception Condition
ArgumentNullException

source is nulla null reference (Nothing in Visual Basic).

OverflowException

The sum is larger than MaxValue.

Remarks

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.

Examples

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

NoteNote:

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.

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

      ' Get the sum of values in the list.
      Dim sum As Single = numbers.Sum()

      ' Display the output.
      outputBlock.Text &= "The sum of the numbers is " & sum & vbCrLf

      ' This code produces the following output:
      '
      ' The sum of the numbers is 635.13

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

      float sum = numbers.Sum();

      outputBlock.Text += String.Format("The sum of the numbers is {0}.", sum) + "\n";

      /*
       This code produces the following output:

       The sum of the numbers is 635.13.
      */
