Create a recursive function that finds if a number is palindrome or not(return true or false), A palindromic number is a number (such as 16461) that remains the same when its digits are reversed. In the main function asks the user to enter a number then check if it's palindrome or not using the function you created previously.

- (Numerical) Write and test a function that returns the position of the largest and smallest values in an array of double-precision numbers.arrow_forwardQuestion > Not complete Marked out of 1.50 Flag question Previous page Write a recursive function named get_palindromes (words) that takes a list of words as a parameter. The function should return a list of all the palindromes in the list. The function returns an empty list if there are no palindromes in the list or if the list is empty. For example, if the list is ["racecar", "hello", "noon", "goodbye"], the function should return ["racecar", "noon"]. A palindrome is a word that is spelled the same forwards and backwards. Note: The get_palindromes() function has to be recursive; you are not allowed to use loops to solve this problem. For example: Test words = ["racecar", "hello", "noon", "goodbye", "test", 'aibohphobia'] ['racecar', 'noon', 'aibohphobia'] print (get_palindromes (words)) print (get_palindromes ([])) print (get_palindromes (['this', 'is', 'test'])) Answer: (penalty regime: 0, 0, 5, 10, 15, 20, 25, 30, 35, 40, 45, 50 %) Result Precheck Check [] [] Next pagearrow_forwardRecursive Power FunctionWrite a function that uses recursion to raise a number to a power.

- 7. Recursive Power Method In Python, design a function that uses recursion to raise a number to a power. The function should accept two arguments: the number to be raised, and the exponent. Assume the exponent is a nonnegative integer.arrow_forwardC programming Language Recursion Question 1: Write c program to print the sum of the array elements using recursive function. You should have the main function + function to find the summation. Question 2: Write recursive function that returns the value of the following recursive definition: f(x) = 0 if x<= 0 f(x-1 )+ 2 otherwise You should have the main function + the recursive function.arrow_forwardProblem Statement for Recursive Sum of Numbers Program Here is a simple recursive problem: Design a function that accepts a positive integer >= 1 and returns the sum of all the integers from 1 up to the number passed as an argument. For example, if 10 is passed as an argument, the function will return 55. Use recursion to calculate the sum. Write a second function which asks the user for the integer and displays the result of calling the function. Part 1. Understand the Problem To design a recursive function, you need to determine at least one base case (the base case returns a solution) and a general case (the general case calls the function again but passes a smaller version of the data as a parameter). To make this problem recursive think about it like this: If the integer is 1, the function will return 1. If the integer is 2, the function will return 1 + 2 = 3. If the integer is 3, the function will return 1 + 2 + 3 = 6. . . . For this problem, we will be sending in the "last"…arrow_forward
- Exponent y Catherine Arellano mplement a recursive function that returns he exponent given the base and the result. for example, if the base is 2 and the result is 3, then the output should be 3 because the exponent needed for 2 to become 8 is 3 (i.e. 23 = 8) nstructions: 1. In the code editor, you are provided with a main() function that asks the user for two integer inputs: 1. The first integer is the base 2. The second integer is the result 2. Furthermore, you are provided with the getExponent() function. The details of this function are the following: 1. Return type - int 2. Name - getExponent 3. Parameters 1. int - base 2. int - result 4. Description - this recursive function returns the exponent 5. Your task is to add the base case and the general case so it will work Score: 0/5 Overview 1080 main.c exponent.h 1 #include 2 #include "exponent.h" 3 int main(void) { 4 int base, result; 5 6 printf("Enter the base: "); scanf("%d", &base); 7 8 9 printf("Enter the result: ");…arrow_forwardyou must include a while loop in this function you should not us any of the following: dictionaries or dictionary methods try-except break and continue statements recursion map / filterarrow_forwardC PROGRAMarrow_forward

Write a recursive function GCD that returns the greatest common divisor of x and y. The GCD of x and y is defined as follows: If y is equal to zero, then GCD(x, y) is x; otherwise GCD(x, y) is GCD(y, x % y) where % is the remainder operator.arrow_forwardHOME WORK 1-Write a steps to search for a node contain a given value in a S.L.L.L. its head is given by pointer variable ( First ) 2-Write Recursive function to count number of nodes in a given S.L.L.L. 3-Write a steps to count number of nodes contain odd number in a given S.L.L.L. its head is given by pointer variable ( First ). 4-Write a steps to test values stored in S.L.L.L. if it is in ascending order or not .arrow_forward
