Question

You are given a list of integers. Write a function in Python to find the maximum sum that can be obtained by summing non-adjacent elements from the list. The function should return the maximum sum.

Example: Input: [2, 4, 6, 8, 5] Output: 13 Explanation: The maximum sum can be obtained by selecting elements 2, 6, and 5 (non-adjacent) and summing them: 2 + 6 + 5 = 13.

Input: [5, 1, 1, 5] Output: 10 Explanation: The maximum sum can be obtained by selecting elements 5 and 5 (non-adjacent) and summing them: 5 + 5 = 10.

Instructions:

  1. Implement a function called max_non_adjacent_sum that takes a list of integers as input.
  2. Write the necessary code to find the maximum sum of non-adjacent elements.
  3. Return the maximum sum.
  4. Test your function with different input cases to validate its correctness.
