Understanding the `sum` Function in JavaScript

The `sum` function in JavaScript is used to calculate the sum of all the elements in an array or a list. It takes an array as an argument and returns the sum of all the elements in the array.

For example, if you have an array like this:
```
const numbers = [1, 2, 3, 4, 5];
```
You can use the `sum` function like this:
```
const sum = Math.sum(numbers);
console.log(sum); // Output: 15
```
The `Math.sum` function is a built-in function in JavaScript that takes an array as an argument and returns the sum of all the elements in the array. It is similar to the `reduce` function, but it only calculates the sum of the elements, rather than returning a single value.

You can also use the `sum` function with other types of arrays, such as strings or objects, but it will only return the sum of the numeric values in those arrays. For example:
```
const strings = ['1', '2', '3'];
const sum = Math.sum(strings); // Output: 6
```
In this case, the `sum` function will only consider the numeric values in the strings array (i.e., the numbers 1, 2, and 3) and return their sum.
