Theory for this problem
+
The core idea of **Value of Double Sum** is to model the requested operation directly: Given two integers `a` and `b`, compute the double of a + b, then print the result. The reference solution uses `Scanner` for input. Keep only the state needed for this result, choose numeric types that cover the stated bounds, and preserve the exact input/output contract. This makes the solution easier to verify on boundary cases and avoids unrelated work.

Hints
+
['First compute `2 * (a + b)` and store it as the intermediate result.', 'Then apply `result` to that result and print only the final value.']
ANSWER
Solution

import java.util.*;
public class Main {
public static void main(String[] args) {
Scanner sc = new Scanner(System.in);
long a = sc.nextLong();
long b = sc.nextLong();
long result = 2 * (a + b);
long answer = result;
System.out.println(answer);
}
