Problem: 

Write a recursive function to add a positive integer b to another number a, add(a, b), where only the unit 1 can be added, For example add(5, 9) will return 14. When creating the function, also create a test case to prove the program works.

The pseudocode is:

# Base case: if b is 1, you can just return a + 1
# General case: otherwise, return the sum of 1 and what is returned by adding a and b - 1
