Show/Hide DescriptionExercise 12.9: sumTo
Write a method sumTo that accepts an integer parameter n and returns the sum of the first n reciprocals. In other words:
sumTo(n) returns: 1 + 1/2 + 1/3 + 1/4 + ... + 1/n
For example, the call of sumTo(2) should return 1.5. The method should return 0.0 if passed the value 0 and should throw an IllegalArgumentException if passed a value less than 0.
