Why would you want to use a For loop? Just use the sum command.

A = [1 2 3 4 5];
SUMA = sum(A)

Dear Trevor!

Do you know what a FOR loop is?
What limits should be useful for your question?
What is a vector?
How would you calculate the sum manually without Matlab?

This should be enough to solve the homework.
