#include<iostream .h>
#include<conio .h>
 
void main()
{
  //  int a[5] = { 1, 3, 2, 4, 5 }; declaration with initialization
 
  int a[5], sum = 0;
  clrscr();
 
  cout< <"Enter 5 numbers\n";
  for(int i=0; i&lt;5; i++)
   cin>>a[i];
 
  cout< <"Input array is..\n";
  for(i=0; i&lt;5; i++)
  {
   cout<<a[i]<<endl;
   sum = sum + a[i];  // sum += a[i];
  }
  cout<<"Sum of array elements: "<<sum;
 
  getch();
 
}

In this program we take input from the user and display the user entered numbers and find the sum of all the array elements and display it as well.

Elements are stored from the index number 0. i.e., if the array size is 5, the values will be stored in a[0], a[1], a[2], a[3], a[4];

Ex:
int a[5] = { 1, 3, 2, 4, 5 }; declaration with initialization
float a[5] = { 1.1, 2.0, 3.3, 1.3, 5.6 };
