Question
[画像:### Recursive Function to Sum Integers **Problem Description:** Using recursion, write a function `sum` that takes a single argument `n` and computes the sum of all integers between 0 and `n` inclusive. Do not write this function using a while or for loop. Assume `n` is non-negative. #### Function Definition Template: ```python def sum(n): """ Using recursion, computes the sum of all integers between 1 and n, inclusive. Assume n is positive. >>> sum(1) 1 >>> sum(5) # 1 + 2 + 3 + 4 + 5 15 """ *** YOUR CODE HERE *** ``` **Key Points:** - Use of recursion to solve the problem. - The function should correctly handle positive integers for `n`. - Example calculations provided for `sum(1)` and `sum(5)`. This task is part of learning recursive methods to solve mathematical problems programmatically.]
