Answer 1

Local variables are not default-initialized to any value, meaning until you write to them they will contain garbage values (whatever was stored in that memory location before). Therefore, you should explicitly set `sum` to zero.

The use of std::cin is likely going to cause problems with this challenge as the strings can contain whitespace, but std::cin stops reading input when encountering spaces. You might want to have a look at std::getline instead:
