Addition of integer input through while loop

Time:11-12

I'm trying to create a while loops where you can input as many integers as you want. The input gets summed up and printed only when I type in the number 0.

Currently I have written the following:

n = int(input())
sum = 0 

while n != 0:
  sum = sum   n 
print(sum)

When I enter in the 0 value the loop does not close and my sum is not printed.

Is there something I'm missing?

Thank you in advance!

I'm expecting the loop to close when I type in 0 which should give the sum of all the number entered previously.

e.g.

Input:
2
3
1
0


Output:

6

The Problem here is that you can only input 1 number than the code is stuck in the while loop. So if you want to sum multiple inputs the input needs to be in the while loop. Try this..

result = 0
while True:
    n = int(input())
    if n == 0:
        print(result)
        break
    else:
        result  = n
