// Accumulator Variable for Summation
#include <iostream>
using namespace std;

int main() {
    // Step 1: Declare and initialize integer variables
    int valueA = 5;
    int valueB = 12;
    int valueC = 8;

    // Step 2: Initialize an accumulator variable for the sum
    int totalSum = 0;

    // Step 3: Add each value to the totalSum
    totalSum = totalSum + valueA; // totalSum is now 5
    totalSum = totalSum + valueB; // totalSum is now 5 + 12 = 17
    totalSum = totalSum + valueC; // totalSum is now 17 + 8 = 25

    // Step 4: Display the final result
    cout << "The total sum using an accumulator is: " << totalSum << endl;

    return 0;
