C++

why does it only return the first value of my array?

trying to use a function to find the sum of an array.

#include

using namespace std;

int sum(int array[], int n) { int sum = 0; for (int i = 0; i < n; i++) { sum += array[i]; return sum; } }

int main() { int array[50]; int n;

cout << "Enter the number of elements: " << endl; cin >> n;

cout << "Enter the elements for the array: " << endl; for (int i = 0; i < n; i++) { cin >> array[i]; }

int total = sum(array, n);

cout << "the sum of the array is " << total << endl;

system("pause"); return 0; }
