adding results of an array to an output

[quarzi]

I've already tried looking for a solution but am unable to get it right. do pardon me as i'm quite new to this.

I'm trying to build a VI that randomly generates a whole number for an array of 8 by 8.

and once that is done, to add up the total amount to one numeric indicator.

so far I have this.

I know it's a little excessive, sorry about that.

Adnan, I'll try out your solution. however, are you able to tell me where I can locate the icons for the summation? I can't seem to find it. I'm using LabVIEW 8.6 Student edition.

edit: found. tryig it out now.

I should have labeled that; it's called Add Array Elements and is located in the Programming -> Numeric palette.

Since you said you need whole number, try inserting "Round to Nearest" located in the Programming -> Numeric palette.

Thanks Adnan! It works for me.

Also, thank you all for your replies. 🙂

The above solution is statistically flawed, because 0 and 10 will only appear with 50% of the probablilty of all other numbers. To get equally distributed numbers, you need to multiply with 11 and round to -inf instead.
