# Sum the numbers on standard in

Consider a stream/file with one integer per line. For example:

123
5
99


Your code should output the sum of these numbers, that is 227.

The input format is strictly one integer per line. You cannot, for example, assume the input is on one line as an array of integers.

You can take input either from STDIN, in form of a filename, or a file with a name of your choice; you can choose which one. No other ways of getting input are allowed.

The input will contain at least one integer. You can assume all integers are non-negative and that their total sum is less than 232.

• Is there a trailing newline? Is that newline optional? – the dark wanderer Mar 24 '17 at 6:50
• Hi! I downvoted this challenge because it goes against our community standards for acceptable input/output formats by having a restrictive input format. – AdmBorkBork Mar 24 '17 at 15:34
• @AdmBorkBork and I discussed this at length in the chat room. We have agreed to disagree :) – user9206 Mar 24 '17 at 17:09
• As the author of the things-to-avoid of cumbersome I/O and arbitrarily overriding defaults, I want to defend this challenge on those grounds. Here, the processing input is the meat of the challenge, not extra work that distracts from the main challenge. It's not "add numbers" with weird I/O requirements, it's "do this I/O" with adding as a step. Overruling the standard I/O is necessary for answers not to shortcut across the main task. – xnor Mar 24 '17 at 18:58

### How it works

    (implicit) Read all input from STDIN an push it as a string.
W   Extract all integers, pushing a single array.
For input x, this executes map(int, re.findall(r'-?\d+', x)) internally.
d  Take the sum.

Takes the file to be summed as a command-line parameter.

• Do you have to do set s=0 in the beginning? It will work on the first run without it, won't it? – Kodos Johnson Mar 24 '17 at 16:14
• @KodosJohnson I'm not sure that's legal in code golf; as I recall the same applies to being able to call a function more than once without the caller resetting global variables to zero in between. – Neil Mar 24 '17 at 17:14

## MATLAB: 17 bytes

sum(dlmread('x'))


Assumes a file named 'x' in current directory. dlmread reads numeric values from a file using delimiters - if no delimiter is specified as the second argument, it will infer from the file type. It successfully infers \n as the delimiter in a file as specified by the question, then uses sum to add them up.

• I think any error suffices for break, since programs can terminate in error by default. An unitialized variable would do. – xnor Mar 23 '17 at 20:51
• Better yet, the while can be in the try block. – xnor Mar 23 '17 at 20:54
• Use only 1 space before while 1:. If you're using tabs SE messes them up. – CalculatorFeline Apr 9 '17 at 21:03

this assumes the file is named '1' with no extension.

alternate 24 byte version, takes filename as input:

(gc "$args")-join"+"|iex  explanation: ( get content of the file "$args" ) then -join the lines together with a "+" to form a valid-syntax sum, then | invoke expression to calculate it as if it was typed into the console directly.

if output is allowed in the following format:

Count    : 3

then gc 1|measure -s is a valid 15 byte solution, thanks to @AdmBorkBork for pointing that out.

# C#, 121 bytes

using C=System.Console;class P{static void Main(){int a=0,b;for(;int.TryParse(C.ReadLine(),out b);)a+=b;C.WriteLine(a);}}


Try it Online

Since this score is worse than Java's, we'd better provide a 95 byte context-less function also:

using C=System.Console;int S(){int a=0,b;for(;int.TryParse(C.ReadLine(),out b);)a+=b;return a;}


Formatted and commented:

using C=System.Console;

class P
{
static void Main()
{
int a=0,b; // a is accumulator, b is tempory storage
for(;int.TryParse(C.ReadLine(),out b);) // read a line, try to parse it as an integer (expects a trailing new-line)
a+=b; // add to accumulator
C.WriteLine(a); // print accumulator
}
}


I was really hoping to have some code like the following:

int a=0,b=0,c;
b=c<15?(a+=b)*0:b*10+c-48;
C.WriteLine(a);


But it just doesn't pay :(

Just for fun, the try...catch solution is also 121 bytes

using C=System.Console;class P{static void Main(){int a=0;try{for(;;)a+=int.Parse(C.ReadLine());}catch{}C.WriteLine(a);}}

# T-SQL, 60 59 bytes

SELECT 0a INTO n;BULK INSERT n FROM'd:n'SELECT SUM(a)FROM n


This is the kind of thing that SQL was designed to do, surprised there isn't already an answer for it. Tested on MS SQL 2012.

SELECT 0a INTO n; is slightly shorter than CREATE TABLE n(a INT). Adding a zero row doesn't change the total.

Text file named n (no extension) is located in the current folder on the D: drive. BULK INSERT is shorter and easier than other file import options like SELECT FROM OPENROWSET(BULK) or EXEC xp_cmdshell 'bcp.exe'.

Of course if input is allowed via a pre-existing table, per our normal I/O standards, then this would be trivial (19 bytes):

SELECT SUM(a)FROM n


But of course this challenge is all about the IO...

• @Lembik Yep.. I can usually compete with BrainFuck, C# and other longer languages, but Java certainly will never win a golfing contest. The only accepted Java answer I've seen so far was for a [popularity-contest]. But it's still fun to golf in Java imo, and once in a while something is pretty short compared to other submissions - in Java 8 that is :) – Kevin Cruijssen Mar 24 '17 at 10:38

## Jellyfish, 24 bytes

Try it online!

### Explanation

Reading input isn't very flexible in Jellyfish. In particular, there's no easy way to read a variable number of integers from STDIN, except as a list literal. So the majority of this code is input.

The shortest way I've found is to read all of STDIN as a string, then wrap it in [...] and then evaluate the string. Thankfully, Jelly's parser only looks for whitespace as a separator in lists, not specifically for space characters. So the linefeed separation required by the challenge works.

So let's build up the code from the bottom:

   J-1
0


   ,']
J-1
0


Append ].

 , ,']
'[J-1
0


Prepend [.

j, ,']
1'[J-1
0


Evaluate.

/
+
j, ,']
1'[J-1
0


Fold addition (in other words, sum).

p
/
+
j, ,']
1'[J-1
0


Print the result.

## C++, 99 Bytes

using namespace std;int main(){string a;int b=0;while(1){getline(cin,a);cout<<(b+=stoi(a))<<"\n";}}


Not my finest work, and there's probably a far better way to go about doing this. Still, I figured that using a string was the optimal way of doing things, seeing as I felt conversions with 'cin' would take up a vast majority of my code otherwise.

Enjoy!

• You could save a few bytes by just wrapping the function in namespace std{ and declaring the function as ::main, rather than using using. – AJMansfield Mar 25 '17 at 6:57

/o
\i@/Hd&+


Try it online!

This feels a bit suboptimal with all those mirrors (and also because the H could also be a +, possibly allowing reuse there), but so far I've only found a handful of different 11-byte solutions.

### Explanation

/o
\i@/...


While it's sometimes possible to shorten it, this seems to be a good pattern for programs which a) one or more integers as input, b) transform them with a linear program in Cardinal mode (i.e. integer processing mode), c) want to output one integer. The instruction pointer (IP) first moves from / to / bouncing through the i which reads all input. Then the ... is executed and the IP wrap around to the wrong. The \ puts the IP again in Ordinal mode where o prints the integer as a decimal string and @ terminates the program. So that's the framework I'm using here.

The core of the program is then just four commands:

H   Compute the absolute value of the top of the stack. The reason we're doing this
is that the stack still holds the entire input as a string. But as soon as you
try to pop a value in Cardinal mode, that string gets implicitly converted
to the integers it contains. So in this case, the H itself doesn't really
do anything but it forces the input to be converted. We could also use
+ here and already sum the top two values (if there's only one value it
would get added to an implicit zero, so that's fine).
d   Push the stack depth, i.e. the number of integers in the input.
&   Execute the next command that many times.
+   Add the top two numbers of the stack. Of course this is one more addition
than we need, but there are only implicit zeros beneath the input so
they don't change the result.

## Dart, 96 bytes (non async), 132 bytes (async)

Non async:

import'dart:io';main(){_ s;_ i=0;while((s=stdin.readLineSync())!=null)i+=int.parse(s);print(i);}


Dart allows you to define local variables with types that don't exist when running in uncheck mode (which is the default mode). This program doesn't function in checked mode.

Async:

import'dart:io';import'dart:convert';main()async=>print((await UTF8.decodeStream(stdin)).split("\n").fold(0,(p,e)=>p+int.parse(e)));


The async version is longer, easier to read, and faster than the sync version. It also works in checked mode. UTF8.decodeStream decodes the entire stream into a Future, await waits for this to finish and gives a String, the string is split by line into List, and finally the strings are folded into the final result.
