Distribution of Random variables

I am trying distribution of a random variable X=Y1+Y2+……+Yn where Y1,Y2…,Yn are i.i.d. uniformly distributed random variables? What can you conclude from the resulting PDF?

Consider the random variables 𝑌1 = 𝑋1 and 𝑌2 = 𝑋1 + 𝑋2 in answering the following: 7.1 If 𝑋1 and 𝑋2 are uniform random variables, plot the scatter diagram of 𝑌2 vs. 𝑌1 using MATLAB. What do you notice?

@Sasi what have you tried yet?
See Walter's answer below for a hint.

n = 2000;
histogram( sum(rand(1000, n)), n/10 )
What do you observe?

That's the thing I am confused. I already done the coding. Actually I do not understand this part: What can you conclude from the resulting PDF?
If you
histogram(sum(rand(5000,2000)),200)
then what distribution does the shape look like? Here, the 5000 is the number of variables being added together.
Hint: "central limit"
