Start:  LOD-C 0		; initialize sum to 0
	STO sum

	LOD-C var       ; store	address	of var	
	STO next	; in next, used	as a pointer

Loop:   LOD-I next	; get data pointed to by next in acc
	JMZ Done	; if it	is 0, then stop
	ADD sum		; otherwise, add current sum to	acc
	STO sum		; store	back in	sum

	LOD next	; increment pointer next
	INC
	STO next

	JMP Loop	; keep on looping until	we're done


Done:   HLT 		; we're	done!

next:   data		; pointer to array of 10 numbers
sum:    data		; will be our sum
var:    1		; the numbers to add
