The Sum(A) command returns the sum of the values in the array A.

Before the code performing the computation runs, A is converted to datatype float[8] if it does not have that datatype already. For this reason, it is most efficient if A has this datatype beforehand.

The SignalProcessing[Sum] command is thread-safe as of Maple 17.

For more information on thread safety, see index/threadsafe.

$\mathrm{with}\left(\mathrm{SignalProcessing}\right)\:$

$a≔\mathrm{Array}\left(\left[1\,2\,3\,4\,5\right]\,'\mathrm{datatype}'='\mathrm{float}'\left[8\right]\right)$

$a≔\left[\begin{array}{ccccc}1.& 2.& 3.& 4.& 5.\end{array}\right]$

$\mathrm{Sum}\left(a\right)$

$15.$

The SignalProcessing[Sum] command was introduced in Maple 17.
