sum = an (this should be sum = a1, unless you planing to start adding the sum at the end of the list)
for i to an -1(you need to define i as the starting value, and also i think you meant n-1, not an-1 because that means you are subtracting the value of the last integer in the list. )
sum = sum + an (it should be sum + ai or else you keep adding the last value in the list)
Hi Martin. Benjamin is absolutely correct.
