sumUpTo

Language/Type: Java recursion

Write a recursive method named sumUpTo that accepts an integer parameter n, where sumUpTo(n) returns: 1 + 1/2 + 1/3 + 1/4 + ... + 1/n .

For example, the call of sumUpTo(2) should return 1.5. You should return 0.0 if n is 0, and you should throw an IllegalArgumentException if n is less than 0.

Method: Write a Java method as described, not a complete program or class.
