sum of array

Hello friends,
am trying to find the sum of thenumbers in the array i trie the following code but didnt get the answer


public static void main(String args[]){
int k[] = {2,5,6,7,12,34,6,7,8,9,20,21,2,2};
int t = sum(k,0);
System.out.println("Sum = "+t);


can you guys help me

What is the sum method? If you want help, you'll have to provide an SSCCE that demonstrates exactly what you're doing, along with any errors or exceptions you receive.

cannot find symbol method sum(int[],int), thats the error i getting

the code is

public class sum {
public static void main(String args[]){
int k[] = {2,5,6,7,12,34,6,7,8,9,20,21,2,2};
int t = sum(k,0);
System.out.println("Sum = "+t);
}
}

Makes sense, since sum() is not a standard method that you can just use whenever you want. Sounds like your assignment is to write the sum method yourself. Recommended reading: Defining Methods (The Java™ Tutorials > Learning the Java Language > Classes and Objects)

If you haven't written a sum() method then Java won't create one for you.
You need to write the code to loop around that array adding the numbers up.

thank you,but my intention is to get the sum of all numbers in the array
can you give me the right code,or my code is wrong or not?

thank you

We aren't just going to "give you the code" and asking us to do so is pretty rude. Make an attempt. Did you read the link I already gave you?

sorry thank you

It doesn't? darn, that's why the compiler keeps on whining about my 'makeMeFilthyRichNow()' method call.

kind regards,

Try looking in the tutorials I have written. I believe one shows how to add an array recursively. This should be easily adapted to do w/o recursion.
