Program Description Answer

A function which calls itself is called as recursion.

Hence, the correct answer is option “C”.

Expert Solution & Answer

Explanation of Solution

Recursion:

Recursion is a process where function is called again and again by itself for a specific number of times.

  • There are two types of recursive functions. They are as follows:
    • Direct recursion
    • Indirect recursion

Direct recursion:

When a function calls the same function repeatedly until the condition becomes false, then it is called as direct recursion.

Indirect recursion:

When a function calls another function which in turn calls the same calling function, then it is called as indirect recursion.

Example:

Consider the following example; the function “Add()” can be called itself in the same function definition. Hence, it comes under direct recursion.

#Define the Add()function

def Add()

         #Print the message

         print('Example of recursive function!!')

         #Call the Add() function recursively

         Add()

Explanation for wrong options:

A recursive function cannot call the different function.

Hence, option “A” is wrong.

A recursive function cannot halt the program.

Hence, option “B” is wrong.

A recursive function can call more than once in a program.

Hence, option “D” is wrong.

I need help to solve a simple problem using Grover’s algorithm, where the solution is not necessarily known beforehand. The problem is a 2×2 binary sudoku with two rules: • No column may contain the same value twice. • No row may contain the same value twice.   Each square in the sudoku is assigned to a variable as follows:   We want to design a quantum circuit that outputs a valid solution to this sudoku. While using Grover’s algorithm for this task is not necessarily practical, the goal is to demonstrate how classical decision problems can be converted into oracles for Grover’s algorithm.   Turning the Problem into a Circuit   To solve this, an oracle needs to be created that helps identify valid solutions. The first step is to construct a classical function within a quantum circuit that checks whether a given state satisfies the sudoku rules.   Since we need to check both columns and rows, there are four conditions to verify: v0 ≠ v1   # Check top row   v2 ≠ v3   # Check bottom row…
