Learn the syntax, data types, and operations essential for programming in Scala

Become a Scala Developer

In this module, we will learn Scala from the ground up. This module aims to teach us how to write basic programs, assuming we have no prior knowledge of the language. We will start with a brief introduction to Scala to understand its functionality and applications. We will then move discuss the key features and functions of the language (data types, functions, classes, etc.) in detail. In the end, we will have all the basic knowledge of how to program in Scala.

## Problem Statement

In this challenge, you need to create a recursive function `sum` which returns the total sum of the integers in a List.

>The provided skeleton code uses `match` and you are required to use the skeleton code. However, there is an alternate solution to this problem which we will discuss in the solution review.

### Input

The input of the function is a List of integers `numberList`.


### Output
The output will be the sum of all the integer in `numberList`.

### Sample Input
```
List(1,2,3,4,5)
```

### Sample Output
```
15
```
### Test Yourself

Write your code in the given area. Try the exercise by yourself first, but if you get stuck, the solution has been provided. Good luck!
