Summer of Recursive Text

This is a hypothetical exploration of summing numbers recursively in a text file (summer of text 🤔) and printing the result

  • The summer function receives as input the path to a single file. Each line of the file will contain either a number or a relative path to another file.

  • For each file processed, the result printed will included the file path and the sum of all of the numbers contained both directly in the file and in any of the sub files listed in the file (and their sub files, etc).
