Question

Q#8, Recursive letter: Given the following recursive function:

1 def love_letter(n):
2 ifn<1:
3 print('I Love CS5001 - Yes I do!!!')

4 else:

5       print('Roses are Red, Violets are Blue')

6          love_letter(n - 1)

 

  1. Identify the code lines that contain the base case and describe its purpose
  2. How would you modify this code to produce infinite recursion? Write a version of this code that will run forever and/or generate a RecursionError while still printing each message from line 3 and 5 at least once.
