Everything about Empty Sum totally explained

In mathematics, the empty sum, or nullary sum, is the result of adding no numbers, in summation for example. Its numerical value is zero. This fact is especially useful and helpful in discrete mathematics and algebra. A simple, well known case is that 0a = 0 — multiplication of any number a by zero always results in zero, because you've added zero copies of a, which is no numbers at all. Many people find the empty sum easier to grasp than the empty product — the product of no numbers — whose value isn't zero, but one.
