Subject: Sum method through while loops or iteration

I am trying to create a sum method for an empty array, that will return
"0" if there is nothing in it and the sum of the values if there are
values called through it. I have seen other ways on the internet, but I
am relatively new to this, and am under the impression that this can be
done with while loops or .each iteration. Below are various things I
tried, some were actual thoughts some were out of sheer frustration.
Thanks for your help!
1.
def sum (array)

array = []

while array >0
array.each { |a| sum+=a }

end

2.

def sum
x= []
x.each{|element| element +element }

  end

3.
def sum(array)

  while array.length > 0
    puts "#{array[x+y+z]}"
  else
    puts "0"
