`math.sum`

The sum of the numbers you pass. It adds the arguments in the one call. There is no length argument anywhere in its signature, so it is not a running total over bars.

math.sum(const float number0, number1, ...) → const float

math.sum(const int number0, number1, ...) → const int

math.sum(input float number0, number1, ...) → input float

math.sum(input int number0, number1, ...) → input int

math.sum(series float number0, number1, ...) → series float

math.sum(series int number0, number1, ...) → series int

math.sum(simple float number0, number1, ...) → simple float

math.sum(simple int number0, number1, ...) → simple int
