Input: Two integers. Preferably decimal integers, but other forms of numbers can be used. These can be given to the code in standard input, as arguments to the program or function, or as a list.

Output: Their sum. Use the same format for output integers as input integers. For example, the input 5 16 would lead to the output 21.

Restrictions: No standard loopholes please. This is , answer in lowest amount of bytes wins.

Notes: This should be fairly trivial, however I'm interested to see how it can be implemented. The answer can be a complete program or a function, but please identify which one it is.

Test cases:

1 2 -> 3
14 15 -> 29
7 9 -> 16
-1 8 -> 7
8 -9 -> -1
-8 -9 -> -17

Or as CSV:

a,b,c
1,2,3
14,15,29
7,9,16
-1,8,7
8,-9,-1
-8,-9,-17

Momema uses prefix syntax, and assignment statements are implicit (simply writing two expressions ab acts as *a = b;), so this program looks like this:

The cell -8 in Momema is memory-mapped for numeric I/O. Reading from it causes input, and writing to it causes output.

Re:direction, 9 characters, 3 bytes

♦►
♦►
◄ ▼

Try it online!

In Re:direction's packed encoding:

F1 F1 B6

(Byte F1 encodes ♦►␤; B6 encodes ◄ ▼).

Explanation

Re:direction is a 2D language that uses a queue of direction commands. At the start of the program, the queue is initialized from user input; an integer n becomes n copies of , then . From that point onwards, whenever we use a direction command, it controls the direction in which the instruction pointer moves but also gets pushed onto the tail of the queue.

The command shifts one direction from that queue, and moves in that direction. So ♦► is effectively a loop that moves any number of from the head of the queue to the tail; as long as the queue starts with , we'll shift it and go right, and hit the in the program, which sends the IP right back where it started (wrapping around the edge of the program) and pushes the to the tail of the queue instead. Once we hit the , it gets deleted from the queue and we move onwards.

We can note that ♦► does not preserve the in the queue. As such, running it twice deletes both from the initial queue, leaving us with a number of equal to the sum of the initial two numbers.

We need to encode the output the same way as the input, meaning that we need to add a and halt the program. A direction command that points to itself will run and then immediately halt the program, so we can use a on a column by itself to do both jobs. We do, however, need to get there; this program uses a to do so (because stray ups and lefts in the queue won't affect the output).

Re:direction, 9 bytes

▲♦▼

Suprisingly small for a language like this. Re:direction is a language that only uses arrows, a queue, and to go in the direction of the first item on the queue

Explanation

Note: I'll be using .'s to represent instructions I'm not talking about, and I'll split it up into a couple of sections

Input is automatically pushed to the queue as ►'s seperated by ▼'s

▲..
►.      Pushes ▲ into the queue, used as a marker later
 .

...
►♦       Loop that goes through every item of the queue (the input). If its ►, it does nothing to it.
 ▲       If it is ▼, it gets replaced by ▲, which is ignored by the output

.♦▼      If it is an ▲, another ♦ is run, which goes right and removes one item from the queue to make the output correct
.♦       Then, since the ▼ is the only arrow in it's column, it gets pushed to the queue then the program halts
 .

Mornington Crescent, 403 bytes

This challenge is pretty trivial given Mornington Crescent's many functions, but it still clocks in at 403 bytes due to the syntax of the language itself.

Take Circle Line to Bank
Take District Line to Parsons Green
Take District Line to Bank

Take District Line to Parsons Green
Take District Line to Parsons Green
Take District Line to Upminster
Take District Line to Bank
Take District Line to Upminster
Take District Line to Bank
Take Circle Line to Bank
Take Northern Line to Mornington Crescent

The program parses the two numbers from the input string via Parsons Green, adds them in Upminster, and returns the result. This is slightly complicated by the fact that a number must be used to 'reset' Parsons Green after it has been used once so it doesn't overwrite any data.

A0A0, 28 bytes

I0A1V0O0
I0V0S0
G-2G-1G-1G-1

Each number is first put into two separate operands (V0 instructions) on two lines via the I0 instructions on each line and then later combined together for adding. After taking input, we jump to the top. The A1 adds the V0 O0 onto the next line, to get the following code: V2 S0 V1 O0. I've labelled the operands with V1 and V2 to represent the different operands. During execution these contain the actual inputs. From there it's simple.

V2 S0 V1 O0
V2          ; operand, put into the S0 next to it
   S0       ; adds its value to the operand next to it (V1)
      V1    ; operand, put into the O0 next to it
         O0 ; outputs its value as a number

The line of jumps at the bottom just goes back to the correct line each time.
