Script work - hard to explain in title

Hey guys, basically I need to produce a script that will ask for a set of values. The values then need to be added up in backwards order and put onto a graph. So for example, if the user entered [2, 3, 5, 7]. I would need my y values to be (7, 7+5, 7+5+3, 7+5+3+2). I hope this makes sense.

I've started with:

'x = input('Enter values for distance of each load from A:');

z = input('Enter values for each load:');

plot(x,y);'

I'm just struggling to think of a command I can use to produce my y values as said before. Any help would be great, once I get this sorted I can really start moving forwards with this!

A=[2, 3, 5, 7]
cumsum(fliplr(A))

Wow, that was exactly what I asked for! I've realised I made a slight mistake though I apologise! How would I make it so from the original example it would be (7+5+3+2, 7+5+3, 7+5, 7). Again, I'm really sorry for that mistake, but I greatly appreciate the help!

A=[2, 3, 5, 7]
out=fliplr(cumsum(fliplr(A)))
