I have std::vector<int> and I want to calculate the sum of all the values in that vector. Is there any built in function or I need to write my custom code?

Use the STL algorithm std::accumulate, in the numeric header.

#include <numeric>

    // ...
    std::vector<int> v;
    // ...
    int sum = std::accumulate(v.begin(), v.end(), 0);

You would need to make your own custom code.

int sum = 0; for (int i = 0; i < myvector.size(); i++) sum += myvectory[i];

The answer is in the variable 'sum'.

This is not needed: std::accumulate does the same trick. – RvdK Jul 19 '11 at 06:23
