The sum of the numbers 1 to n can be calculated recursively as follows: The sum from 1 to 1 is 1. The sum from 1 to n is n more than the sum from 1 to n-1 Write a function named sum that accepts a variable containing an integer value as its parameter and returns the sum of the numbers from 1 to to the parameter (calculated recursively).

Answer:

See explaination

Explanation:

The code

#function named sum that accepts a variable

#containing an integer value as its parameter

#returns the sum of the numbers from 1 to to the parameter

def sum(n):

if n == 0:

return 0

else:

#call the function recursively

return n + sum(n - 1)

#Test to find the sum()

#function with parameter 5.

print(sum(5))

A recursive function is simply a function that continues to execute itself until a condition is satisfied

The recursive function sum in Python, where comments are used to explain each line is as follows:

#This defines the sum function

def sum(n):

   #The function returns n, when n is 1 or less

   if n <= 1:

       return n

   #Otherwise, the sum is calculated recursively

   else:

       return n + sum(n - 1)
