Identify the bug in the following recursive function.
def sumSquare(numList):
if len(numList) :
1:
==
print numList[0]*+2
else:
return numList[0] * +2 + sumSquare(numList[1:])
Syntax error in the last line.
Results in an infinite recursion.
The else should be elif
The
== in the if statement should be >=
The base case doesn't return anything.
