Programming
1

i need help with recursion
as i known that there have an answer in “Get the Hint”

but could any one explain how does this work ?

console.log(sum([2, 3, 4], 1)) —> get 2 after console.log this

Your code so far

function sum(arr, n) {
  // Only change code below this line
 if (n <= 0) {
    return 0;
 } else {
   return sum(arr, n - 1) + arr[n - 1];
 }
  // Only change code above this line
}

console.log(sum([2, 3, 4], 1))

What is the return statement when you call the function as:

sum([2, 3, 4], 1))

Write out the return statement by replacing the variables with the actual values.
