Use a recursive method to calculate the sum of all integers from 1 to n.
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) end- def sum n
return 1 if n == 1 # Base case of recursion method - must be defined; otherwise infinite recursion may occurn + sum(n - 1)- raise ArgumentError('n must be greater than 0') if n < 1
- n == 1 ? 1 : n + sum(n - 1)
- end
