Sum of elements in a stack

This technical problem asks the reader to write a function that returns the sum of the elements in a stack. An example input and output is provided.

Problem

Given a stack of integers, write a function that returns the sum of the elements in the stack.
Example input:
[1, 2, 3, 4, 5]
Example output:
15

Solution

This solution is in Python. Our A.I. can create solutions in multiple languages.

def sum_stack(stack):
    
    This function takes a stack of integers and returns the sum of the elements in the stack.
    
    # Initialize the sum variable
    sum = 0
    # Iterate through the stack and add each element to the sum variable
    for i in stack:
        sum += i
    # Return the sum
    return sum

# Test the function
print(sum_stack([1, 2, 3, 4, 5]))
A.I. Evaluation of the Solution

This solution correctly calculates the sum of the elements in a stack. However, it would be helpful if the function included a docstring explaining what it does. Additionally, it is generally good practice to include comments in code to explain what is happening. For example, a comment explaining why the sum variable is initialized to 0 would be helpful.
