Description:

Write a function that takes a list of numbers and returns the sum of all the elements. This problem is designed to help you practice working with lists and basic iteration. The function should accept one parameter and return the sum of the elements.

Constraints:

  • The input will be a list of numbers (integers or floats).
  • The list can be empty, in which case the sum is 0.
  • The function should return a number representing the sum of the elements.

Example:

  • Input: [1, 2, 3, 4, 5]
  • Output: 15

Test Case Input Expected Output
1 [] 0
2 [1, 2, 3, 4, 5] 15
3 [-1, -2, -3] -6
4 [0, 0, 0] 0
5 [100] 100
6 [1.5, 2.5, 3.5] 7.5
