Calculating Sum Of Elements In An Array

ALGORITHM:

Get the input from the user and store it in an integer array “a”.

1. Read the length of the array and initialize an integer variable “length” to 0.
2. Loop through the array and increment the “length” variable each time you encounter an element in the array.
3. Initialize an integer variable “sum” to 0.
4. Initialize another integer variable “j” to 0.
5. Loop through the array and add each element to the “sum” variable.
6. Increment the “j” variable.
7. Repeat the loop until all elements in the array have been added to the “sum” variable.
8. Print the value of the “sum” variable.

DETAILED EXPLANATION:

1. Get the input from the user and store it in an integer array “a”. This step involves receiving input from the user and storing it in an integer array “a”. The input can be taken from the user through the console or any other means of input. The input values are stored in the array “a”.
2. Read the length of the array and initialize an integer variable “length” to 0. The length of the array is read and stored in a variable called “length”. The variable “length” is then initialized to 0.
3. Loop through the array and increment the “length” variable each time you encounter an element in the array. In this step, we iterate through the array “a” using a loop. The loop iterates from the first element of the array to the last. Each time the loop encounters an element in the array, it increments the variable “length”.
4. Initialize an integer variable “sum” to 0. The variable “sum” is initialized to 0. This variable will be used to store the sum of all the elements in the array.
5. Initialize another integer variable “j” to 0. The variable “j” is initialized to 0. This variable is used as a loop counter for the upcoming loop.
6. Loop through the array and add each element to the “sum” variable. In this step, we iterate through the array “a” using a loop. The loop iterates from the first element of the array to the last. Each time the loop encounters an element in the array, it adds the value of the element to the variable “sum”. The loop continues until all elements in the array have been added to the variable “sum”.
7. Increment the “j” variable. After each iteration of the loop in step 6, the variable “j” is incremented by 1. This ensures that the loop progresses through all the elements of the array.
8. Repeat the loop until all elements in the array have been added to the “sum” variable. The loop in step 6 and 7 continues until all elements in the array have been added to the variable “sum”.
9. Print the value of the “sum” variable. Finally, the value of the variable “sum” is printed to the console or any other output medium. This value represents the sum of all elements in the array “a”.

CONCLUSION:

This algorithm will allow you to easily find the sum of all elements in an array, and display it in a clear and understandable manner.
