**Understanding Recursive Functions: Preventing Stack Overflow**In recursive functions, there are two crucial components: the base case and the recursive call, which gradually moves towards the base case. A common mistake in recursion is a stack overflow. This can happen if the recursive function is improperly designed. Let's explore two scenarios that could cause this issue:1. **Base Case Mistake:** - Not defining a base case or having an incorrectly defined base case. Without a proper stopping condition, the recursive function will continue indefinitely, leading to a stack overflow.2. **Recursive Call Error:** - Making recursive calls that do not progress toward the base case. If each recursive call doesn't clearly move towards terminating the recursion, it may enter an infinite loop, also causing a stack overflow.By ensuring both components are correctly handled, you can avoid these common pitfalls in recursive programming.

There are two important parts to every simple recursive function: the base case, and the recursive call that makes progress towards the base case. Something that can go wrong with recursion when it is used incorrectly is a stack overflow. Explain two different ways that a recursive function could be written incorrectly that could lead to stack overflow. Hint: one has something to do with the base case, and the other with the recursive call. 1. Enter your answer here 2. Enter your answer here

Using Python Recursion is the concept of a function calling itself until the problem is solved when the Base Case is met. Study Recursion: See slides in Modules, Practice Slides, lab12 and also Recursion is in chapter 9 of the textbook. Some examples of recursion are: compute [ factorial of a number, towers of Hanoi, fractals (as shown in the textbook), and many more]. Example: See slides Page 2 For this assignment we'll use Collatz Cojecture (see Wikipedia). Collatz Conjecture algorithm: Given a number n, first call to the function: f(n): In the function: if n == 1 return 1: if n is even then f(n/2), i.e. call self with the new value. else (n is odd) call self with the new value, f((n*3)+1) and repeat. All numbers eventually end up with 1. The program should test for the base case which is: if n == 1, in which case it returns to the caller with 1. This problem is perfect to demonstrate Recursion.Create a list with random numbers (you can just do this part manually) in the list as 1,…

Ex. 01 : Recursion About So far, we have learned that we can perform repetitive tasks using loops. However, another way is by creating methods that call themselves. This programming technique is called recursion and, a method that calls itself within it's own body is called a recursive method. One use of recursion is to perform repetitive tasks instead of using loops, since some problems seem to be solved more naturally with recursion than with loops. To solve a problem using recursion, it is broken down into sub-problems. Each sub-problem is similar to the original problem, but smaller in size. You can apply the same approach to each sub-problem to solve it recursively. All recursive methods use conditional tests to either 1. stop or 2. continue the recursion. Each recursive method has the following characteristics: 1. end/terminating case: One or more end cases to stop the recursion. 2. recursive case: reduces the problem in to smaller sub-problems, until it reaches (becomes) the end…
