What is the effective difference between this part of a for loop adding up a sum written these two different ways (iterating over an array called "numbers"):
sum = sum + numbers[i];
vs.
sum += numbers[i];

Given the example, there is no effective difference. The second method is just simpler to write.
Good question!
