sum symbolic numeric add

Below is my attempt to distinguish between add vs sum commands.  In principle, the sum command is symbolic.  I attempt the comparison in general, but get an error for the add command.  This error appears to occur if I do not assign numeric values to the general variables in the function.  I would like to execute the comparison symbolically.  Can this be done or does add only execute numerical evaluations?
