   // C++ program to illustrate sum of two numbers
   

2. Please add a code in a way that there shouldn’t be any blank line after comments and one blank line should be present above the comments in the code. For reference please see the code in the image given below:
   

   

3. Add the code/comments to the code block in a way that prevents horizontal scrolling. If the code exceeds the width of the display, it should wrap to the next line for readability. Please refer to the image below, where horizontal scrolling is present and should be avoided.

   Naming Convention in C++
   Naming Conventions in Java

   Naming Conventions in JavaScript
5. Variables used in the code, program structure and output should match with the existing code.
6. Please add following comment at the bottom of your code.

   // This code is contributed by your_name 
   

7. Variable names and output of newly added code (for example Java) should be same as existing code (For example C++).
