I need to write a program that displays the sum of user-provided numbers. The user should be able to provide as many numbers as they like, and when they are done providing numbers, the sum of those numbers needs to be displayed. I am super confused on this so please help! Thanks

Why did you change your username and remove the question? Are you afraid of being accused of plagiarism? I recovered the removed content from the Google cache (something which anyone can do). Editing away your question is very rude. Someone spent time reading your question, understanding your issue, figuring out the solution, and writing an answer. Now you repay that kindness by ensuring that the next person with a similar question can't benefit from this answer. The current state of the page is also now archived.

I honestly am not sure where to start. I know how to do loops and use input but I’m confused. Do I have to do two inputs, the first one asking if they want to select a number and the second what the number is? I was also trying to make it so if the user said yes to the first question that it would then ask the second one and go into a loop, but I kept getting a bunch of errors so I don’t think I’m doing it right. I’m not really sure how to set it up so if you could offer any help I would appreciate it

"Write a program that displays the sum of user-provided numbers. The user should be able to provide as many numbers as they like, and when they are done providing numbers, the sum of those numbers needs to be displayed."

It doesn't specify, so I would assume I can do whatever is easiest. Thanks!

In some jurisdictions you have the legal right to ask that certain publicly identifiable information about you not be publicly available. Your ability to change your username and remove profile information about your interests satisfies that legal right.

However, when you posted your Question, you agreed to the Terms and Conditions of the website... which gives Mathworks the right to retain the content .

You not only changed your profile picture and username (and perhaps also removed other information from your profile), but you also edit away your question. I had to manually reverse that and now you're suggesting you had every right to do so, just because you wanted to keep private information private. That is the problem.

An outline of the code could be:

total = 0;
while( true )
    % insert code here to get a number from the user
    % insert code here to see if the number is 0.  If it is 0, then break out of the loop
    % insert code here to add the number to total
end
% insert code here to display the total

A modified version of Jame's outline, that permits 0 as an input:

total = 0;
while( true )
    % insert code here to get a number from the user
    % insert code here to see if the number is empty. If it is empty then break out of the loop
    % insert code here to add the number to total
end
% insert code here to display the total
