In this article, we will learn about the solution to the problem statement given below.
Problem statement − We are given a list iterable, we need to compute the sum of the list
Here we will be discussing 3 approaches as discussed below
Using for loop
Example
# sum total = 0 # creating a list list1 = [11, 22,33,44,55,66] # iterating over the list for ele in range(0, len(list1)): total = total + list1[ele] # printing total value print("Sum of all elements in given list: ", total)
Output
Sum of the array is 231
Using while loop
Example
# Python program to find sum of elements in list total = 0 ele = 0 # creating a list list1 = [11,22,33,44,55,66] # iterating using loop while(ele < len(list1)): total = total + list1[ele] ele += 1 # printing total value print("Sum of all elements in given list: ", total)
Output
Sum of the array is 231
Using Recursion by creating a function
Example
# list list1 = [11,22,33,44,55,66] # function following recursion def sumOfList(list, size): if (size == 0): return 0 else: return list[size - 1] + sumOfList(list, size - 1) # main total = sumOfList(list1, len(list1)) print("Sum of all elements in given list: ", total)
Output
Sum of the array is 231
Conclusion
In this article, we have learned how to print the sum of elements in a list.
