The method should have the same name as the one you call below
("elem.sum_of_array").

The line above should read acc += 1.  You could even simplify that as

acc += (x.number_of_leaves rescue 1)

>  ¨Âîä

>  ¨Âîä

Not sure what your issue is exactly.  Please show the complete code
along with expected results.  The code you presented cannot be the
real code because at least the class declaration is missing.
