def sum(list1): sum1 = 0 for i in range(len(list1)): if i < 0: return 0 else: return sum1 + sum(list1[:i]) n = int(input("Enter the size:")) list1 = [i for i in range(n)] print(sum(list1))

This code defines a function sum that calculates the sum of elements in a list recursively. The function takes a list list1 as input, initializes a variable sum1 to 0, and then iterates through the indices of the list. If the index i is less than 0, it returns 0. Otherwise, it recursively calculates the sum by calling the sum function on a sublist of list1 up to index i, and adds it to the current sum. The main part of the code takes user input for the size of the list, creates a list of numbers from 0 to n-1, and then prints the sum of the list by calling the sum function on the list.
