title: Sum
weight: 5
---
# Task
1. You need to create a `Sum` class which will sum integers from command line arguments and output the sum to console.
2. Examples:
```sh
java Sum 1 2 3
```
Expected output: `6`.
```sh
java Sum 1 2 -3
```
Expected output: `0`.
```sh
java Sum "1 2 3"
```
Expected output: `6`.
```sh
java Sum "1 2" " 3"
```
Expected output: `6`.
```sh
java Sum " "
```
Expected output: `0`.
3. Arguments can be:
- digits,
- signes `+` and `-`,
- [space symbols](https://docs.oracle.com/en/java/javase/21/docs/api/java.base/java/lang/Character.html#isWhitespace(char))
4. You can assume that `int` type is sufficient for in-between calculations and result.
5. Before doing the task make sure to read docs for classes [`String`](https://docs.oracle.com/en/java/javase/21/docs/api/java.base/java/lang/String.html) and [`Integer`](https://docs.oracle.com/en/java/javase/21/docs/api/java.base/java/lang/Integer.html).
6. For debugging use [`System.err`](https://docs.oracle.com/en/java/javase/21/docs/api/java.base/java/lang/System.html#err), because it will be ingnored by the testing program.

# Solution
After reading about [`String`](https://docs.oracle.com/en/java/javase/21/docs/api/java.base/java/lang/String.html), [`Integer`](https://docs.oracle.com/en/java/javase/21/docs/api/java.base/java/lang/Integer.html), [`System.err`](https://docs.oracle.com/en/java/javase/21/docs/api/java.base/java/lang/System.html#err) we now know about some usefull methods:
- [`Integer.parseInt(String s, int radix)`](https://docs.oracle.com/javase/8/docs/api/java/lang/Integer.html#parseInt-java.lang.String-) which parses the string argument as a signed integer in the radix specified by the second argument. So it basically converts a number from the `String` data type to `int`.
- [`Character.isWhitespace(char ch)`](https://docs.oracle.com/javase/8/docs/api/java/lang/Character.html#isWhitespace-char-) which checks if a character `ch` is a space symbol or not.
Now let's start coding. Firstly let's define the structure of our program. I will be putting the name of the file at the first line comment in a file and its path if its nessesary.
```java
// Sum.java
public class Sum {
public static void main(String[] args) {
// ...
}
}
```
Okay that's done. What do we do next? Let's look at `String[] args` argument to our `main` method. It represents an array of command line arguments which we need to sum. So know we made our task a little bit easier. Now we can just say that we need to find sum of elements of array `args`.
How are we going to do it though? First let's understand what we can do with this array. Let's modify our class a little bit.
```java
// Sum.java
public class Sum {
public static void main(String[] args) {
System.out.println(args.length);
}
}
```
We've added `System.out.println(args.length)` which takes the field `length` from our `args` object and prints it to the console.
Let's try it. First compile our class using
```sh
$ javac Sum.java
```
And then we can do some manual testing.
```sh
$ java Sum 1 2 3
3
```
We got `3` as an output as expected. We gave our program 3 command line arguments: `1`, `2` and `3`.
Here are all of the examples
```sh
$ java Sum 1 2 -3
3
```
```sh
$ java Sum "1 2 3"
1
```
> [!NOTE]
> Notice, that we got 1 instead of 3. That's because we put our arguments in `""` so this becomes a single string argument.
```sh
$ java Sum "1 2" " 3"
2
```
```sh
$ java Sum " "
1
```
> [!NOTE]
> Here program gives us 1 instead of 0, because despite not having any numbers in the arguments a single whitespace is still an argument.
Now let's try not obly to count our arguments but to list them as well. Let's modify our program a little bit more.
```java
// Sum.java
public class Sum {
public static void main(String[] args) {
System.out.println("number of arguments: " + args.length);
for (String argument : args) {
System.out.println(argument);
}
}
}
```
Here I used `for` loop to do printing ***for*** every `String` element in `args`.
Let's try this with our examples. And don't forget to recompile using `javac Sum.java`.
```sh
$ java Sum 1 2 3
number of arguments: 3
1
2
3
```
```sh
$ java Sum 1 2 -3
number of arguments: 3
1
2
-3
```
```sh
$ java Sum "1 2 3"
number of arguments: 1
1 2 3
```
> [!NOTE]
> Again, notice only ***one*** string argument.
```sh
$ java Sum "1 2" " 3"
number of arguments: 2
1 2
3
```
```sh
$ java Sum " "
number of arguments: 1
```
Okay, now that we know how to ***iterate*** (or do something for every element), we can
