**Add** is a *basic arithmetic operation* **Node** that returns the sum of all of the values provided in the `Input` **Sockets**.

This is the equivalent of the addition (`+`) operation in computer science and mathematics.

[**Scope**](https://docs.incari.com/incari-studio/2023.2/overview#scopes): **Project**, **Scene**, **Function**, **Prefab**.

| `Data Type`      | **Drop-down**                                 | The type of data that will be plugged into the `Input` **Sockets**.                                 |
| `Default Inputs` | *Defined in the `Data Type`* ***Attribute***. | The amount of `Input` **Sockets** and their default values, if they have no data connected to them. |

## Inputs

| Input             | Type                                          | Description                                                           |
| ----------------- | --------------------------------------------- | --------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| *Pulse Input* (►) | **Pulse**                                     | A standard input **Pulse**, to trigger the execution of the **Node**. |
| `Input [n]`       | *Defined in the `Data Type`* ***Attribute***. | The values to be added together.                                      |

## Outputs

| Output             | Type                                          | Description                                                                                                                            |

| *Pulse Output* (►) | **Pulse**                                     | A standard output **Pulse**, to move onto the next **Node** along the **Logic Branch**, once this **Node** has finished its execution. |
| `Output`           | *Defined in the `Data Type`* ***Attribute***. | The sum of all of the values provided in the `Input` **Sockets**.                                                                      |
