JavaScript Math sum

In JavaScript, you can use the Math object to perform various mathematical operations. To find the sum of two or more numbers, you can use the + operator.

Note: there is no built-in Math.sum() method in JavaScript. However, you can create your sum() function using the reduce() method to sum up an array of numbers.

JavaScript Math sum example

Simple example code using the + operator to find the sum of two numbers:

const a = 5;
const b = 7;
const sum = a + b;

console.log(sum); // Output: 12

Let’s create a sum() function using the reduce() method and find the sum of any array of numbers, like this:

<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<body>
    <script>
        function sum(numbers) {
            return numbers.reduce((total, number) => total + number, 0);
        }

        const numbers = [1, 2, 3, 4, 5];
        const total = sum(numbers);

        console.log("Array sum", total); 
    </script>
</body>
</html>
