import java.io.*;

public class Solution {
    public static void main(String[] args) throws Exception {
        //write your code here
        BufferedReader read = new BufferedReader(new InputStreamReader(System.in));
        int a = Integer.parseInt(read.readLine());
        int b = Integer.parseInt(read.readLine());
        int c = Integer.parseInt(read.readLine());
        int d = Integer.parseInt(read.readLine());
        int e = Integer.parseInt(read.readLine());

        int sum = (a+b+c+d+e);
        while (true){

        if(e == -1){

            //System.out.println(sum);
        }
        break;
        }
        System.out.println(sum);


    }
}

Use the keyboard to enter numbers.
If the user enters -1, display the sum of all entered numbers and end the program.
-1 should be included in the sum.

Hint: one of the solutions to this problem uses the following construct:

while (true) {
    int number = read the number;
    if (check whether the number is -1)
        break;
}

Requirements:

The program should read the numbers from the keyboard.
If the user enters -1, the program should display the sum of all entered numbers and then end.
The program must calculate and display the sum of the entered numbers.
The program must use a for loop or a while loop.

When you use this way it means you always know how many numbers user will input, it can be 3 numbers it can be 10 etc. To give you a little tip without solving the exercise: - Follow the Hint you have in exercise description (It will help you on the third part I write down) - Use IF to break; the loop (this will break at a specific point) - Use Variable += reader ..... (this will replace a,b,c,d,e)

Read number and add it to sum in WHILE loop. Count of numbers may be any. Until use enter -1.
