![**Creating a Sum of Sequence Using Method4**
The task is to write a method named `method4` that accepts an integer parameter `n` and returns the sum of the first `n` terms of a specific sequence. The sequence for the sum is as follows:
\[ 1 + \frac{1}{2} + \frac{1}{3} + \frac{1}{4} + \ldots + \frac{1}{n} \]
### Example Calculations
1. **For `method4(2)`**:
- The calculation is:
\[ 1 + \frac{1}{2} = 1.5 \]
- Therefore, `method4(2)` will return **1.5**.
2. **For `method4(15)`**:
- The calculation expands to:
\[ 1 + \frac{1}{2} + \frac{1}{3} + \ldots + \frac{1}{14} + \frac{1}{15} \]
- The final result will be **3.3182289932289937**.
### Note
- It is assumed that the parameter `n` is nonnegative.
In this method, you input the desired number of terms in the sequence, and it computes the sum of these terms following the harmonic progression described above.](https://content.bartleby.com/qna-images/question/5c647828-f044-4f1b-b879-19c790819471/44143893-f12b-4222-ae5f-b115bbb05663/hul155s_thumbnail.jpeg)
