hi list,
what is the fastest way to get the sum from a list of integers ? actually i unpack the list and play around with the [+ ] ... wich causes to make big patch for nothing, whereas i suppose there may be somewhere somekind of list2sum object ... or maybe a better method ...
as far as i know, there is no [list2sum] (i would recommend simply [sum])
this is surely an overhead but: if you have lists of varying length you can use zexy's [mean], which gets (1/n)*sum(), and multiply it with the [length] of the list...
