Tell us what’s happening:
Describe your issue in detail here.

I feel like i somewhat conceptually understand recursion. But in this problem why are we adding " arr[n - 1]" se seen below.

return sum(arr, n - 1) + arr[n - 1];

it makes more sense to me to say " + arr [n];

  **Your code so far**

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