This template performs addition. For example, if you want to add 2 and 3, use this: {{sum|2|3}}, which creates 5. It handles positive and negative integers, fractions, and decimals to thirteen decimal points:

  • {{sum|-3|1}} produces: -2
  • {{sum|1|0.5}} produces: 1.5
  • {{sum|1|2/3}} produces: 1.6666666666667

It also handles some symbols such as "pi" (π) or "e":

  • {{sum|pi|0}} produces 3.1415926535898
  • {{sum|e|0}} produces 2.718281828459

More than two parameters may be employed:

  • {{sum|1|1|1}} produces 3

It does not accept commas or spaces for thousands separator.
