title: Harmonic sequence recursion
body: <p>I'm really getting the hang of recursion (or so I think), but this problem is tripping me up.  I'm trying to return 1 + 1/2 + 1/3 + ... + 1/n, but no matter what I try the method returns 1.0. I cannot for the life of me figure out what's wrong.</p>
  
  <pre><code>public static double harmonic(int n) {
      if(n == 1) {
          return 1;
      } else {
          return (1 / n) + (1 / harmonic(n - 1));
      }
  }
  </code></pre>
