    Iterate the array (inspect each element) and add each to an integer variable, something like:
    int total;
    for ( int i : arr1 )
    {
        total += i;
    }

    Note: you have declared the array in the main method, therefore the inputNumber method does not have access to it. You need to pass it as a parameter or make it an instance variable and use OO principles.
