a. Problem 1. Create an array of 30 random numbers that range between 1 and 100. Then, write a function that will receive a number from the user and determine if that number exists in the array or not. For instance, assume the array is: [2, 93, 14, 89, 12, 3, 81, 15, 14, 89, 52, 96, 71, 82, 5, 2, 41, 23, 52, 59, 44, 44, 88, 39, 49, 50, 97, 45, 48, 36] Now, assume the user enters 89, the program should output true. But, if the user enters 77, the program should output false. Approach: We will be implementing this method in two different ways. Both will be recursive. First, implement a method called findA (x,A), where x is the number we are looking for and A is an array. In the body of the function, compare x with the FIRST item that is in the array. If this first item is equal to X, return true. If not, remove the first item from A and call findA(x,A) on the revised list. If you call find on an empty list, you will want to return false. Writing any explicit loop in your code results a 0 for this question. Remember to provide pre- and post-conditions. How many recursive calls will you need to search the entire list? Next, copy the following trace table in your Word file and trace the input values to the function findA(x,A) for when A and x are initially [1, 6, 10, 14, 77, 82, 100] and 77, respectively. As a guideline, we have populated the tables with the values for the first 2 calls and the corresponding returned values for each of those calls. Note that in this example, the call numbers will be populated top down (i.e. time elapses from row x to row x+1) while returned values are populated bottom-up (i.e. the value in row x is returned before the value in rowx-1). You may want to use console.log to observe these values when you write your solution. call# x A value returned to this call 1 77 [1, 6, 10, 14, 77, 82, 100] TRUE 2 77 [6, 10, 14, 77, 82, 100] TRUE

Question

Please help me with this. So I created a program based on the instruction below but it does not seem to be working. It fix please provide me with an input that I can use an the output that should display. Thank you

// Recursive function to find if a number exists in the array (findA)
function findA(x, A) {
// Base case: If the array is empty, return false
if (A.length === 0) {
return false;
}
// Base case: If the first item in the array equals x, return true
if (A[0] === x) {
return true;
}
// Recursive case: Remove the first item from A and call findA on the revised list
return findA(x, A.slice(1));
}

// Button click event listeners
document.getElementById("findAButton").addEventListener("click", function() {
let numberToFind = parseInt(prompt("Enter a number to find in the array:"));
let result = findA(numberToFind, randomArray) ? "Number exists in the array." : "Number does not exist in the array.";
displayResult(numberToFind, result);
});
