Java – sum of elements in the array

I'm doing a simple task for a summer java course. I just hope you can look at my code and see if the way I do it is the best way The goal is to create a simple int array with at least 25 elements, iterate over it and add all the elements I've had some problems, but it looks like I've started working After I solved it, I did some research and saw something similar. People use the for each loop Would this be a better choice? I'm confused about the best way to use against the regular for loop

Anyway, any comment or criticism helps me become a better programmer!

public class Traversals {

    public static void main(String[] args) {

        int absenceTotal = 0;
        // initialize array with 30 days of absences.
        int absencesArr[] = { 1,3,9,8,23,1,11,5,6,7,10,14,2,4,2 };

        for (int i = 0; i < absencesArr.length; i++) {
            absencesArr[i] += absenceTotal;
            absenceTotal = absencesArr[i];
        }
        System.out.println("There were " + absenceTotal + " absences that day.");
    }
}

Solution

Do not modify the array I prefer for each loop You should consider that there may be many students, so I may spend a lot of money And format the output Combine them into something similar

long sum = 0;
for(int i : absencesArr) {       
    sum += i;
}   
// System.out.println("There were " + sum + " absences that day.");   
System.out.printf("There were %d absences that day.%n",sum);
