Here is the code:

And as if you read my mind as I was going through the SICP lecture and
referencing chapter two in Manning's Joy of Clojure book I was
wondering how to turn this explicit recursive call taken from the

function so that the (+a 1) can be abstracted to be a function and
passed in.
Here is the original:

(defn sum [fn a b]
