5. Python Program to Find the Sum of Elements in a List Recursively code example
Example 1: sum number in a list python using recursion
def listsum(numList):
if len(numList) == 1:
return numList[0]
else:
return numList[0] + listsum(numList[1:])
print(listsum([1,3,5,7,9]))
Example 2: how to calculate the sum of a list in python
# Python code to demonstrate the working of
# sum()
numbers = [1,2,3,4,5,1,4,5]
# start parameter is not provided
Sum = sum(numbers)
print(Sum) # result is 25
# start = 10
Sum = sum(numbers, 10)
print(Sum) # result is 10 +25 = 35
