Fork, Commit, Merge - Easy Issue (Elixir)

Create a Basic Elixir Function to Sum a List of Numbers

Note: You don't have ask permission to start solving the issue or get assigned, since these issues are supposed to be always open for new contributors. The actions-user bot will reset the file back to previous state for the next contributor after your commit is merged. So you can just simply start working with the issue right away!

Open the tasks/elixir/easy/elixir_sum_list directory from the root of your project.

Then open a file called elixir_sum_list.ex in lib directory.

Description:

The goal of this task is to create a simple Elixir function that will:

  • Take a list of numbers as an argument.
  • Calculate the sum of the numbers.
  • Return the sum.

Acceptance Criteria:

  • Your function must be written in Elixir and run without errors.
  • Make sure to handle potential edge cases (e.g., an empty list should return 0).

To run the program you need to make sure that you are in the tasks/elixir/easy/elixir_sum_list directory in the project.
Then run this command in Terminal to compile the project: iex -S mix.
After compiling you will be inside of REPL interactive environment for Elixir, which will be shown in Terminal like this: iex(1).
When inside, you can type command ElixirSumList.sum([1, 2, 3, 4, 5]) to run the program.
If you see the output 15, that means your solution was successful and you are ready to make a pull request!


To work with this issue, you need to have Elixir installed to your local machine.
Check out README.md for more instructions of installing Elixir and how to make a pull request.
