Bowling Score

Page
Description

This is my solution to a problem posted on Spoj.com called “Bowling (BOWLING1)”. The program first takes in a number N <= 1000, which is the number of test cases to follow. Then, the input will give a sequence of numbers between 0 and 10, representing the number of knocked down pins in a bowling game. Each test case is separated by a new line. The output should be the score obtained by the person who knocked down those exact pins.

Input/Output

Sample Input 3 10 10 10 10 10 10 10 10 10 10 10 10 3 5 1 5 7 1 10 1 6 10 6 2 1 2 0 5 8 1 9 1 5 0 3 0 8 1 6 4 7 2 7 1 6 3 10 4 4 Sample Output 300 89 101
