Explanation

• iostream: For input and output (std::cin, std::cout).
• sstream: For string streams (std::stringstream).
• string: For string manipulation (std::string).
• std::string input; declares a string variable to store the input.
• std::cout << "Enter numbers separated by spaces: "; prompts the user for input.
• std::getline(std::cin, input); reads the entire line of input, including spaces.
• std::stringstream ss(input); creates a string stream from the input string. This allows us to extract numbers from the string.
• int number; declares an integer variable to store each number.
• int sum = 0; initializes the sum to 0.
• while (ss >> number): This loop reads numbers from the string stream until there are no more numbers.
• ss >> number extracts the next number from the string stream and stores it in the number variable.
