# __intSum

*Also documented in context in the [full Functions and Variables reference](/user-manual/functions/#__intSum).*

The intSum function can be used to compute the sum of two or more integer values.

> **Note**
> The reference name is optional, but it must not be a valid integer.

| Name | Required | Description |
| --- | --- | --- |
| First argument | Yes | The first int value. |
| Second argument | Yes | The second int value. |
| nth argument | No | The nth int value. |
| last argument | No | A reference name for reusing the value computed by this function.                 If specified, the reference name must contain at least one non-numeric character otherwise it will                 be treated as another int value to be added. |

Examples:

```bash
\${__intSum(2,5,MYVAR)}
```

will return 7 (2+5) and store the result in MYVAR variable. So `\${MYVAR}` will be equal to 7.

```bash
\${__intSum(2,5,7)}
```

will return 14 (2+5+7) and store the result in MYVAR variable.

```bash
\${__intSum(1,2,5,\${MYVAR})}
```

will return 16 if MYVAR value is equal to 8, 1+2+5+${MYVAR})
