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

This code defines a function called sum that calculates the sum of elements in a list recursively. However, there is a logical error in the code. The condition if i < 0: will never be true because the loop iterates over the indices of the list which are always non-negative. Therefore, the code will always return 0.
