Imports System.Linq

Module Module1
    Sub Main()
        Dim intVals() As Integer = {50, 20, 40, 35, 10, 27, 60}

        Dim s As Double = intVals.Sum()
        Console.WriteLine("Sum of array elements: {0}", s)
    End Sub
End Module

Output

Explanation

In the above program, we created a module Module1 that contains the Main() function. The Main() function is the entry point for the program.

In the Main() function, we created an integer array that contains 7 elements. Here, we calculated the sum of array elements using the Sum() extension method of the "System.Linq" namespace. After that, we printed the calculated sum on the console screen.
