Consider the following implementation of function multiply.
int multiply ( int x , int n ) {
if ( n <= 0 ) {
return 0 ;
}
else {
return x+m u l t i p l y ( x , n −1 ) ;
}
}
a) Briefly explain why this implementation is not tail-recursive.
b) Give a tail-recursive implementation in the C language. You might need to
define a helper function.
c) Give an equivalent loop-based implementation of the same function in the C
language. You are only allowed to use a while loop for this question.
