Given a few numbers. Calculate their sum. First enter the number of numbers N. Then exactly N integers are entered.

What is the smallest number of variables needed to solve this problem?

i=int(input()) a=i*int(input()) z=0 for i in range(a,a-1): z+=a print(z)

    Zero. The quantity is immediately used as the upper limit, then the map, which reads the rest, then the sum is output.

    The code with range works, but in addition to the sum displays the elements of range.

     print(sum(map(int, map(input, range(int(input()))))))

    But instead of range you can use a list of the required number of empty lines.

     print(sum(map(int, map(input, [''] * int(input())))))
    • tin, well, why scare a person right away =) besides, most likely his teacher will not appreciate this answer, or even worse - he will not understand = ( - rdorn
    • @rdorn, "What is the smallest number of variables needed to solve this problem?" - probably, any other quantity will not be the smallest? - Qwertiy ♦

     s = 0 for i in range(int(input())): s += int(input()) print(s)

    I decided 3 hours, the answer was on the git hub, cake
