Could you clarify your question? With what exactly you are having troubles, what have you tried so far?

What is your justification for returning 1 for the base case?

The sum function takes two arguments, an array of numbers and the number of elements to sum. You are passing it an array of an array of numbers as the first argument.

This function is supposed to sum the numbers in the array. Are you sure you want to multiply here?
