Beginning Python

Starting with creating our data file data.txt:

data.txt
12
54
7
332
54
1
0

We start by defining an integer, total to be zero before the loop. Inside the loop we add the line of code total += number which increases the variable total by the value in the variable number.

Finally we print the total:

file.py
total = 0

with open("data.txt") as f:
    for line in f:
        number = int(line)
        total += number

print("Sum of all values is:", total)
$
python file.py
Sum of all values is: 460
