Chapter 12, Problem 8PE
Ackermann's Function
Ackermann's Function is a recursive mathematical
If m = 0 then return n + 1
If n = 0 then return ackermann (m - 1, 1)
Otherwise, return ackermann (m - 1, ackermann (m, n - 1))
Once you've designed your function, test it by calling it with small values for m and n.

- Write a recursive function to generate nth fibonacci term in C programming. How to generate nth fibonacci term in C programming using recursion. Logic to find nth Fibonacci term using recursion in C programming. Fibonacci series is a series of numbers where the current number is the sum of previous two terms. For Example: 0, 1, 1, 2, 3, 5, 8, 13, 21, ... , (n-1th + n-2th) Example: Input: Input any number: 10 Output 10th Fibonacci term: 55 please use C languagearrow_forwardjsarrow_forwardWrite a program that performs the following functionalities:1. Fibonacci: a recursive function that computes the fibonacci series, which is defined as followsfibonacci (n) = fibonacci(n-2) + fibonacci(n-1)fibonacci(0) = 0fibonacci(1) = 1 So the fibonacci looks like: 0 1 1 2 3 5 8 13 21 34 …. Therefore, fibonacci(4) = 3, fibonacci(5) = 5, fibonacci(7)=13 2. Sum: a recursive function that computes the sum of integers 1, 2, 3, …., n for a given number n. So Sum(6) should return 1 + 2 + 3 + 4 + 5 + 6 , i.e. 21.sum(n) = n + sum(n-1) 3. Largest: a recursive function that computes the largest value for an integer array of positiveand negative values. For example, for the array below, the function largest should return 22,which is the largest value in the array. You can assume there are no more 20 integers in thearray.

- In programming, a recursive function calls itself. The classical example is factorial(n), which can be defined recursively as n*factorial(n-1). Nonethessless, it is important to take note that a recursive function should have a terminating condition (or base case), in the case of factorial, factorial(0)=1. Hence, the full definition is: factorial(n) = 1, for n = 0 factorial(n) = n * factorial(n-1), for all n > 1 For example, suppose n = 5: // Recursive call factorial(5) = 5 * factorial(4) factorial(4) = 4 * factorial(3) factorial(3) = 3 * factorial(2) factorial(2) = 2 * factorial(1) factorial(1) = 1 * factorial(0) factorial(0) = 1 // Base case // Unwinding factorial(1) = 1 * 1 = 1 factorial(2) = 2 * 1 = 2 factorial(3) = 3 * 2 = 6 factorial(4) = 4 * 6 = 24 factorial(5) = 5 * 24 = 120 (DONE) Exercise (Factorial) (Recursive): Write a recursive method called factorial() to compute the factorial of the given integer. public static int factorial(int n) The recursive algorithm is:…arrow_forwardComputing Powers, p(x,n)=xn1.
