Java: How to calculate the sum of an integer?

[Oui]

In my program I have this line of code that prints HCIcw... an int with values obtained from a .txt document.

System.out.println(HCIcw);

Results in this on a RUN:

53
53
53
53
50
50
90
71

How do I add the values of HCIcw together so that I can print the sum of those numbers instead of them all individually? I'm new to this

I'm guessing you're printing each number on the screen as you're reading them from the file ?
Instead, use HCIcw += "Read line"
This is short for HCIcw = HCIcw + "Read Line"

EDIT: Also, this will be very helpful: http://java.sun.com/j2se/1.5.0/docs/api/

FileReader filer = new FileReader(text file name);
BufferedReader bufferedR = new BufferedReader(filer);

then you can use whatever methods in bufferedreader (http://java.sun.com/j2se/1.5.0/docs/api/java/io/BufferedReader.html) to read in characters or whole lines from the file, and then process the data.
