can any body explain me sum += myArr[x]; this part work.

int [ ] myArr = {6, 42, 3, 7}; int sum=0; for(int x=0; x<myArr.length; x++) { sum += myArr[x]; } System.out.println(sum); // 58

sum is originally 0. You create a loop which loops from x = 0 to x = myArr.length. Within this loop, myArr[x] would be each array element within myArr. For each execution of the loop, the value of the array element is added to sum. 6 + 42 + 3 + 7 58

myArr is an array. You can access the single elements of the array with the square brackets. The for loop will start with x = 0. In the for loop, the sum will be += myArr[x] which is same as: sum = sum + myArr[x] which means something is being added. Each iteration x will be increased once till it is te length of the array (4). So with this you sum up each elemenet of the array ( from 0 to 3, with 0 being the first).
