Sum of elements on the list recursive
#2
Hi,

Quote:which sums elements of the list (from current index to the last)
Your current code doesn't reflect that, as you always start at the 1st element?

Quote: and inserts its result to the appropriate cell on the new list.
What does that means exactly? Does mean if your input list is [1, 2, 3, 4], the result list is supposed to be [3, 6, 10]?

Except this, iteration by for i in range(len(iterable)) combined with accessing elements of iterable by index is an bad anti-pattern in Python. Python supports direct iteration of iterables.

And your variable names are pretty weird... why do you have at nearly all variables the letter a post-fixed?

Regards, noisefloor
