[%CFEngine_function_prototype(list)%]

Description: Return the sum of the reals in list.

This function might be used for simple ring computation. Of course, you could easily combine sum with readstringarray or readreallist etc., to collect summary information from a source external to CFEngine.

[%CFEngine_function_attributes(list)%]

Example:

[%CFEngine_include_snippet(sum.cf, #+begin_src cfengine3, .*end_src)%]

Output:

[%CFEngine_include_snippet(sum.cf, #+begin_src\s+example_output\s, .end_src)%]

Because $(six) and $(zero) are both real numbers, the report that is generated will be:

six is 6.000000, zero is 0.000000
