An ArgumentError should be raised if the input is below 1.
def sum n raise ArgumentError('n must be greater than 0') if n < 1 n == 1 ? 1 : n + sum(n - 1) end1 1 def sum n
2 − return 1 if n == 1 # Base case of recursion method - must be defined; otherwise infinite recursion may occur
3 − n + sum(n - 1)
2 + raise ArgumentError('n must be greater than 0') if n < 13 + n == 1 ? 1 : n + sum(n - 1)
